Evidence: | 'Despite the disapproval of her comrade Palme Dutt, Helen Crawfurd found Communist propaganda in Scripture... According to her unauthorized version, "the Lamb dumb before her shearers, represented the uncritical exploited working class"...And when she had studied the Psalms long enough, she somehow discerned there a materialist conception of history: "I saw the Psalmist David as a shepherd on the hills, making his poems from the material things surrounding him, such as 'the green pastures, the still waters'".' |
