The first half of the twentieth century meant great change for the Brethren. Two world wars, the modern industrial economy, the Great Depression, the rise of popular culture, the changing role of women, increasing secularization, growing individualism--some Brethren saw these as challenges and opportunities; others resisted them.
The Brethren During the Age of World War uses documents, books from the period, articles, Annual Conference deliberations and decisions, interviews, letters, diaries, and the writer's own trenchant observations to show how Brethren rose to these challenges, absorbed them, or fought them.
