The object of this book, as its title suggests, is a study of the historic conflict between the two types of religion, which may be designated as the prophetic and the exploiting type. It further seeks to ascertain the theological aspects and implications of the contest, to do justice to the theological permanence, veracity and breadth of vision of prophetism and to show how the theologies or hierarchies and ecclesiasticism were influenced or manipulated in the interests of the will to exploit. Again it may be said that the author seeks in this volume to discover and state just what Christianity is. In order to do this he distinguishes between historic Christianity and the Christianity of its founder. His conclusion is that "The world's greatest need as in the past so today, is to understand and follow the Christianity of Christ."
