Preface

Preface dated 1980.

Publication will take place on both sides of the Atlantic, and in French and German as well as in English.

I should like to express the appreciation of all concerned to the Rev. Wilbert Forker, Vice-President of The Templeton Foundation, who initiated and now manages this exciting project..."
