Excerpt from Religion-Its Prophets and False Prophets The message in this book is one that has been seeking expression since the author's Seminary days at the Episcopal Theological School at Cambridge, Massachusetts - more than twenty years ago. Owing to the self-sacrificing co-operation of his mother - early left a widow - he was enabled to receive his preparation for the ministry. It came at a time when the sense of the social implications of Christianity was beginning to be quickened and Prof. Nash was expressing to his pupils those views later embodied in his "Genesis of the Social Conscience." After three years of seemingly fruitless preaching of the social gospel, the sympathetic furtherance of his wife enabled the author to spend three years in Europe in further study. Germany was selected as offering the best opportunities. The problem he proposed - was - "How is the economic and social order to be reformed according to the Christian principle of the law of service?" So for two semesters at Berlin and for two and a half more at Halle the author studied economics under distinguished teachers. Germany had promised much.
