Christianity And The Social Crisis

By Walter Rauschenbusch

Book Overview

Christianity and the Social Crisis is a book written by Walter Rauschenbusch, a Baptist minister and theologian, published in 1907. The book is a powerful critique of the social and economic conditions of America during the industrial revolution and argues that Christianity has a vital role to play in addressing the social and economic problems of the time. Rauschenbusch argues that Christianity should be concerned with the social and economic welfare of people, and that the church should be actively involved in addressing the social problems of the day. He also argues that the Gospel message has a transformative power that can bring about social change and that the church should be a force for social justice. The book is divided into two parts. The first part examines the social and economic conditions of America during the industrial revolution, while the second part explores the theological implications of these conditions. Rauschenbusch's ideas were influential in the development of the Social Gospel movement, which sought to apply Christian principles to social and economic issues. The book remains a classic of Christian social thought and continues to be read and studied by theologians and social activists today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
