Interpretations more appropriate than others, and myinterpretations do not always coincide with those of my forerunners. Neous - where we differ - but on the basis of probabilities, | do find some I do not insist that myinterpretationsare right and theirs erro. Is my admiration for the authors of these two books and the works they have produced, and muchas I shall, unavoidably, repeat some of their messages and analyses in these pages, althoughin verydifferent words and with very different emphases, myjustification for Sinsofthe Fleshis that I believe [ have somethingto offer that takes us alittle further alongthe adventurous road Fox and Spencer have trod.' Andwhereas I nowand again reject specific interpretations of Spencer andFox, I muststress that such disputes are often a matterof interpretation ofavailable evidence, not simple mat.
