B. H. Streeter, Provost of The Queen’s College, Oxford, and Canon of Hereford, was ever a fighter. As a young man he created ferment and fury by his provocative writings on science and religion. Today his views are widely accepted.
When, as a man of world reputation, Streeter felt impelled to work with the Oxford Group, he was not deterred by criticism or caution. He took up the fight in what he believed to be “the only movement which faced the full danger of the world situation.”
“One Fight More” interprets faithfully, vividly, compellingly, this lovable man and his mature thought on national and world problems. It is written by one who, as fellow don and fellow traveller, was much with Streeter in his last five years.
Those who enjoy reading vivid biography, or feeling a keen mind at grips with problems which concern us all, those who are interested in religion, education, politics or international affairs should read this book.
'One Fight More' is a pen portrait of B.H. Streeter, the great scholar and thinker. His friend Alan Thornhill tells here the story of Streeter's last, eventful years, as he battled to bring home to the nations a philosophy that can remake the world.
"This attractive sketch gives a clear outline of the man, who must have been a very loveable personality besides one of the keenest intellects of his day. It shows how this shrewd, cautious, clear-headed Provost of Queen's, author of 'Reality' and 'Adventure' found adventure and reality for himself in his last years." Daphne du Maurier
"Every friend of Streeter will be grateful to Mr. Thornhill for this book. He has drawn B.H.S. to the life." The Bishop of Liverpool
