Shaw’s preface to his 1912 play Androcles and the Lion is a book-length essay asking why Christianity has never been given a trial. Taking the Gospels in turn, he separates the teachings of Jesus from the schemes of atonement and salvation completed by Luther and Calvin, and argues that modern thought is moving towards what Jesus taught.
