I found a 1963 copy of this book in my church's library and picked it for amusement value as its original title was its message for Men of today and I was looking forward to a rather sexist tome on the Episcopal Church. To my delight, this book was a joy to read. It gave such a great grounding in some of the aspects of the Episcopal Church, some of the beliefs, some of the discussions of worship. I loved that it was set at a time when war was such a prominent theme and I believe that the period in which this was set just added to its charm. The really wasn't anything in this for me that felt sexist or like it excluded women. It was simply a discussion that was happening between four intellectual men which was reflected in the title I think this is a great option for anyone who wants to understand the Episcopal Church.

I read the 1950s edition in 1977. A nice literary device, somewhat Socratic, but oh so dated. Leaves out half of humanity, what about the women of today. Found the copy in the library of St. John's Episcopal Church in Hermiston, Oregon.
