Synopsis

Bruce Barton's 1925 effort to reconfigure Jesus for the Roaring Twenties turned into one of the great bestsellers of the century.

In his Introduction, Richard M. Fried explores the book's rich insights into the culture of the 1920s.

About this title

Barton is a pioneer in public relations...by making Jesus the founder of modern business.--Richard N. Ostilling "Philadelphia Tribune "

From the Back Cover:

Bruce Barton's 1925 effort to reconfigure Jesus for the Roaring Twenties turned into one of the great best-sellers of the century. Here was Christ, the world's greatest business executive, who "picked up twelve men from the bottom ranks of business and forged them into an organization that conquered the world". In this new edition, the historian Richard Fried revives Barton's original language. Mr. Fried explores the book's rich insights into the culture of the 1920s, revealing not only the union of religion and business but changing attitudes toward consumption and leisure, sexuality and the roles of men and women.
