(John Huston) Finley is a compilation of early 20th-century lectures exploring how Christian principles relate to modern social issues such as education, social justice, and moral responsibilities by different authors. The book begins with a lecture by John Huston Finley who speaks to the importance of education using the legend of Enoch to illustrate his point. Finley focuses on how education can enrich society and promote greater peace amongst all, and draws on the idea that we have a responsibility to impart important knowledge to new generations.
