Excerpt from The Carpenter and the Rich Man
This is a companion book to the "Call of the Carpenter." That former book is a biography of Jesus as a workingman. Here I present a study of the Parables. In both, the economic life of the time is the constant background and point of departure. No one shall think the thoughts of Jesus after him, without an understanding of the industrial conditions of that day. Cleared of accretions by grace of the critical scholarship of our time, we find in the economic the clue to the mysterious scroll.
The two books supplement each other. For the historical groundwork upon which the present studies are based, I refer the reader to the "Call of the Carpenter." In like manner, readers who missed from that book the spirit of inwardness that marked The Galilean, will find here a treatment of those deeper and more personal values, with an amplitude which the plan of the other book did not permit.
