Leighton, Joseph Alexander. Jesus Christ and the civilization of to-day: the ethical teaching of Jesus considered in its bearings on the moral foundations of modern culture. **$1.50. Macmillan.
7–18115.
A practical rather than technical consideration of the ethical teachings of Jesus Christ in their bearings on the spiritual life of civilization, in which no account is taken of the external events of Christ’s life or of his deeds further than necessary for an interpretation of the meaning and application of his teaching. It addresses all “intelligent persons who are honestly and open-mindedly seeking to determine the relation of the words of the Great Master of Life and Religion to their own lives and to the complex and confused life of contemporary civilization.”
“A careful study”
