Publisher's Synopsis
The Worker and His Bible is a book written by Frederick Carl Eiselen. It is a comprehensive study of the relationship between the Bible and the working class. The book explores the role of religion in the lives of working people, and how it has influenced their attitudes towards work, society, and politics. Eiselen argues that the Bible has been a powerful force in shaping the values and beliefs of working people, and that it has played a critical role in shaping the labor movement. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the history of the labor movement, the role of the church in the labor movement, and the relationship between religion and social justice. It is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the intersection of religion, politics, and labor, and is essential reading for anyone interested in these topics.1909.
