Konvitz concludes that A Common Faith remains a provocative book, an intellectual 'teaser,' an essay at religious philoso-phy which no philosopher can wholly bypass."e; Dewey concentrated much of his writing in 1933 and 1934 on issues arising from the economic crises of the Great Depression. In the early 1930s Com-munist activity in the New York Teachers Union in-creased. The Report of the Special Grievance Committee of the Teachers Union is published in this volume, as is Dewey's impromptu address, "e;On the Grievance Committee's Report,"e; made when he presented that report. Rounding out the volume are eighteen arti-cles from the People's Lobby Bulletin.
