1924. Leighton writes that this book is a humble contribution towards the New Reformation, a modest prelude to the dawn of a new cultural synthesis which will mean a new religious synthesis, a new ethical synthesis and a new social synthesis-one in which the light of science will be vivified and energized by the moral and humane values implicit in the works of Jesus and his greatest disciples; but a synthesis which will include the ethical and social implications of our new knowledge of man, nature and their interrelations which are the fruits of science. The Contents are divided into three parts: Religion and Culture Today; The Religion of Jesus; and The Validity of Religion.
