1929. Crane writes: To me religion is life. It is the essence of my valuation of life and my relation to the great forces of life. Hence it is a matter to be studied, a matter to grow with my growth. It is not like a chunk of granite; it is like a vigorous tree which constantly puts forth new buds and branches and beareth his fruit in his season. It is for this reason that I should like this book to be taken as being not controversial, but simply a humble effort to state the case as it seems to me.
