This book contains the substance of the Croall Lectures which it was the author's privilege to deliver in the University of Edinburgh in the month of Jaunary, 1948. This book deals with what is called God's Order. By God's order is meant the essential structure of spiritual reality, which has its source in God and whose development is determined by the will of God. This structure was envisaged most perfectly by St. Paul, through the illumination of the Holy Spirit, in the Epistle to the Ephesians, the greatest and maturest of all his writings.
