Hints and guesses are gleaned from poets, artists and musicians; the witness of Scripture explored:and the communion of saints - a neglected teaching - emphasised. The late Frederick Levison was a parish minister for over forty years and was the husband of Revd Mary Levison DD who pioneered the ordination of women in the Church of Scotland.
