ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author talks about the religious implications of literary and philosophical texts of Malcolm (Vivian) Hay. He was born in 1881, a Scot. He fought in World War I, and in 1916 published a book recounting some of his experiences: Wounded and a Prisoner of War. After the War, he wrote A Chain of Error in Scottish History, The Blairs Papers, The Jesuits and the Popish Plot, and The Enigma of James II. During World War II, Hay edited a monthly periodical for prisoners of war. Hearing of the Nazis' massacres of the Jews, he studied Jewish history and Hebrew; and after the War, he went to Palestine. When British civilians not there on official business were ordered to leave the country in 1947, he "went underground" and, though a Catholic, remained at Rehovot as "Rabbi Hai".
