The message of this book strengthens the conviction of the reader that the Adult Bible Class movement in the modern Sunday school has in it the elements of permanency. It is the natural outworking of the prevailing religious emphasis of recent years. The spirit and truth of the Scriptures have won a victory over literalism and traditionalism.

It is no insignificant matter that millions of men and women are organized into groups for the study of the Bible and individual and social life problems. - Introduction.
