Abstract
The Churches have had so many “challenges” presented to them that they are becoming accustomed to take them as read, and this indifference is often justified by the ignorance of trie challengers, but it is to be hoped that Prof. Macmurray's little book will have serious attention, for it is the cry from the heart of one who knows what Christianity has been and passionately believes in its creative power. In this pamphlet the author is conducting an argument on two fronts; he is pleading with his left–wing associates to realize that without Christianity there cannot be a socialist order which is also free, and he is trying to convince his fellow–Christians that the Church needs a new and drastic reformation.
