An Episcopal clergyman, who wrote more than twenty books examining the American way of life from the point of view of Christian orthodoxy. Among his principal works are Right and Wrong after the War (1918), Beyond Agnosticism (1929), In the City of Confusion (1938), God Is Not Dead (1945), Crisis in Education (1949), and Crowd Culture (1952). In all these works, he argued that Americans were mistakenly pursuing comfort as the end of life and beginning to believe that “one may eat one’s cake and have it too, that there can be reward without quest, wages without work, a master’s prestige without a master’s skill, marriage without fidelity, national security without sacrifice.”
