It is pri- marily a book of economics. Or, more correctly, the two are fused into an organic blend, so that the religion of the bible mobilized its energies unto economic tasks ; and eco- nomics drew its inspirations from the vital breath of re- ligion. Jesus, we now know, was a workingman. His spiritual- ity was inseparably interwoven with the carpenter's bench where he spent his young manhood. A toiler, and of a nation of toilers, the life industrial was woven into the bone and brain of him. ...His thought apparatus was de- termined on the side of the working poor and against the exploiting rich. His life coincided with the formative era of the Roman Empire. That empire was a coalition of the master-class in all of the countries against the working- class in all of the countries. The extension of that em- pire to Palestine menaced him and his fellow toilers with slave status. Long he endured the threat and the increas- ing degradation. Then his forbearance came to an end. He laid aside his carpenter's tools, surrounded himself with twelve other workingmen, and stepped forward into a campaign of agitation the equal of which for popular arousement has nowhere else been marked down in his- tory.
