Nov. 6, 1967. Running time: 28:55. Thurman often wondered what the Christian religion in general and Jesus Christ in particular had to say to the man who stands with his back against the wall. In sermons and homilies of the day, much was said of how we may help the man with his back against the wall, but little is said directly to the man. Thurman reads "The Great Incarnate Word" as his answer to what Jesus says to the man.
