"The story of an orthodox minister who sees the inadequacy of his church."@en
"A renowned American novelist who is regarded as one of the foremost figures in the literary genre of naturalism, Winston Churchill often wrote about the clashes between upper-class and working-class groups in the highly stratified communities of New England. In The Inside of the Cup, Churchill turns his remarkably incisive eye upon the subject of religion, exploring the way that one Midwestern community is torn apart -- and brought together again -- by the church."@en
"This story is a fierce indictment of Christian hypocrisy. John Hodder is the new rector at St. John's, a church in a fashionable section of town that isn't so far away from the misery of poverty-stricken Dalton Street. It doesn't take Hodder long to discover the true nature of his supposedly pious congregation. Primary among them is Eldon Parr, a bank president whose daughter, Alison, leaves to perform settlement work. Eldon's son, Preston, has deserted the family because of his father's treatment of the poor girl he loved, and is now living a life of degradation. Hodder is disgusted by the cruelty of Parr and others who attend St. John's, and he exposes them all from the pulpit. He refuses to resign after his tirade and goes about correcting all the wrongs perpetrated by his parishioners. This wins Alison's heart. One of Parr's disgruntled former workers shoots him and then himself. Parr survives just long enough to make amends for all he has done, and to unite his family once again."@en
"Novelist Winston Churchill's best-regarded and perhaps most prescient work portrays the failure of the Church to deal with the contemporary realities and social problems of early 20th century American life: in particular, the effects of prosperity on society's moral code."@en
