Excerpt from The Spectrum of Religion
Not even the deathless interest in the subject of religion could warrant this book if it were theoretical or speculative. Grant that this writer were prepared to produce such a treatise - an assumption which he emphatically denies - the needs of our day do not include a compilation of a priori arguments for religion. That our needs do include, however, such an understanding of religion as to interpret it in terms of modern life even the unthinking understand. The general volume in the library of the "Men and Religion Forward Movement," that wave of religious zeal which swept America a half dozen years ago, is entitled Making Religion Efficient. Here that talismaniac word of modern times, "efficiency," is coupled with religion in the obvious effort to give such spinal strength to religious doctrine and such corpuscular vigor to religious action that the mightiest and sturdiest manhood of the generation might be enlisted in the propaganda of religion.
