Born in 1910 into an industrial environment in northern Switzerland, Arthur Rich's spiritual and intellectual wrestlings were how the Christian Gospel could embrace the real world of industry and work. This book tells how he worked out this Gospel and gave it a shakingly honest intellectual expression that the non-theologian could equally well discuss. What he says could be sharply illuminating in the setting of British culture and religion. For this reason his method, especially the idea that New Testament agape-love is a secular decision-making agent, is tested out on the issues of work and worklessness thrown up for christians and non-christians in today's British society.
