“Prof. Harry F. Ward of Union theological seminary, in his new book, ‘The new social order,’ writes on social and industrial change both from economic and from ethical standpoints. His book considers in part 1 the underlying principles of the new order, in part 2, various programs, such as those proposed by the British labor party, the Russian soviets, the league of nations, various movements in the United States, and the churches.”—Springf’d Republican
“Dr Ward has been developing a very unusual fluency of speech, mental power, and moral insight that appear strikingly in this book. Although some of the chapters on the principles might well have been a little shorter and crisper, the style is always interesting, at times rising to natural and impressive eloquence; and the thought is throughout clear and weighty. This is one of the most important books for the citizen of this generation to read thoughtfully, and read at an early date.” C. J. Bushnell

“Dr Ward has rendered a real service in bringing together in compact form so many expressions of the new spirit. He knows that they are signs rather than realities, but it is a poor skipper who cares not which way the veering flaw blows. Christians and pagans will do well to ponder them.” C: A. Beard

“In this latest of his several volumes Professor Ward makes his most notable contribution to the religious interpretation of the changing social order. Professor Ward’s discussion of the controverted points dealt with is frank and fearless, notwithstanding, perhaps the more because of, the criticism he has all along met from certain ecclesiastical and special interest groups.” Graham Taylor
