Abstract

In 1964 the Chicago University Press published a volume of essays entitled What Can a Man Do? The chapters of this book were written by one of our most distinguished Jewish journalists. One of his essays goes under the title "Christ Under Communism." It concludes with the observation that today there are really only two serious contenders for the hearts and minds of men, namely, the church and communism.
