Drawing-room Conversion

From the foreword by Howard E.Jensen:

'...although religion develops out of an aspect of experience which is uniquely its own, and is not reducible to a function of man's total social and cultural life, it develops in interaction with its general sociocultural context. Consequently, the author studies the Oxford Group movement in relation to the historical period in which it appeared, to determine if possible the type of need which the religious experiences provided by the Group were designed to satisfy and how the urgent problems of a culture in crisis were interpreted by it and resolved within it.'
