Independent intensities, 0–5 — what the work is made of, not how good it is.
A book of about 140 pages published by Abingdon in 1980, its title echoing his earlier Game Free (1974). It comes from the end of the period in which Oden wrote between theology and the therapies of the day, just before Pastoral Theology (1983) and the classical works that followed. No fuller description was found, so this note is kept short.
