The organized Adult Bible Class movement is of recent origin and has had a phenomenal growth. All such movements are in danger of majoring in features that are as superficial as they are spectacular. 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. If the Bible is to make its contribution to Christian character and to social redemption, it must be studied eagerly and regularly by the people who are mainly responsible for the policies of the outstanding institutions of our civilization. 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.
