The author argues that these two social forces are essential to human progress and the work of Christ. He explores the historical and theological underpinnings of this estrangement to reveal that it emerged in the middle ages, and only reached its zenith in recent times. The Church and labor, once integral to one another, now find themselves at odds due to labor's perception of the Church as either indifferent or even hostile to its aims. This leads the author to examine his own Methodist denomination as a case study, as well as the ways in which the Church has consistently aligned itself with powerful interests. Throughout, the author expounds on the Christian imperative to value all human life equally, and to work towards a society in which the dignity of labor is recognized.
