One who heard him was Ivy Lee, the father of the public relations industry and adviser to the Rockefeller family. Lee published Fosdick's 1922 sermon under the title of "The New Knowledge and the Christian Faith," and arranged to have it and subsequent homilies widely distributed. When John D.

But he also knows the value of good writing, and Charles Wood's script is a model of subdued rage and satiric precision.
