At the present time we witness everywhere the following paradoxical situation. Non-western peoples are eager to master every element in the science and techniques of the western world, but are almost totally uninterested in enquiring into the roots of the tree on which these fruits have grown. Western man, apparently embarrassed about his ancestry like a schoolboy who is embarrassed about his parents, goes out of his way in his contacts with the rest of the world to avoid any suggestion of commitment to the religion of the Bible, but shows himself passionately interested in studying the minutest details of the origins of the non-western religions and cultures. Yet his study of them is always with the tools of thought which western science has developed and not with the tools of the non-western cultures and languages… . It is to be hoped that a time will come when, both in the west and elsewhere, it will be recognized that the study of the origins of modern science is of at least as much importance to an educated man as the study of Caesar’s wars or Vergil’s poetry. When that time comes there will be less need to argue for the relation of the Bible to the roots of the scientific world-view.
