They Call Me Carpenter

More about the book

Set in the post-WWI era, this tale explores the intersection of American socialism and Christianity through the lens of Upton Sinclair's unique perspective. The narrative critiques the commercialization of faith, exemplified by the portrayal of Christ as a decorative figure in a church. Sinclair's protagonist reflects on the disconnect between the true essence of Christ the carpenter and the way he is represented in society. This thought-provoking work invites readers to reconsider the implications of faith in a modern context.
