As an American socialist, Upton Sinclair was fascinated by Christianity and wrote many fictional books that hummed around the main faith of Anericans. Titles like Our Lady , The Secret Life of Jesus and A Personal Jesus .
They Call Me Carpenter: A Tale of The Second Coming is cleary set in the period when it was written in 1922 - the post WWI era. An excerpt from the story: But you Americans have taken Christ the carpenter - I laughed. It appeared that at this moment we were passing St. Bartholomew’s Church, a great brown-stone structure standing at the corner of the park. I waved my hand towards it. In there, I said, over the altar, you may see Christ, the carpenter, dressed up in exquisite robes of white and amethyst, set up as a stained glass window ornament. But of you’ll stop and think, you’ll realize it wasn’t we Americans who began that!
