A booklet published in 1963 by the Church Book Room Press, London, and in 1964 by Eerdmans, subtitled in Bradshaw's bibliography A Discussion of the Book Honest to God, by John A. T. Robinson. Robinson, Bishop of Woolwich, had argued in Honest to God (1963) that traditional images of God should be abandoned; the booklet is Packer's critical reply from an evangelical standpoint. Its argument in detail was not seen for this record.
