Human Needs and World Christianity

By Francis John McConnell

"Human Needs and World Christianity" is a compelling examination of the social responsibilities of the global Christian movement. Written by Francis John McConnell, a prominent leader in the social gospel movement, this work explores the fundamental connection between religious faith and the fulfillment of basic human needs. McConnell argues that the relevance of Christianity in a modernizing world depends on its ability to address tangible issues such as poverty, disease, and social injustice.

The book provides a thoughtful analysis of how missions and ecclesiastical institutions must evolve to serve humanity more effectively. It emphasizes a vision of world Christianity that transcends mere dogma, focusing instead on the practical application of Christian ethics to improve living conditions across the globe. Through chapters dedicated to health, education, and economic stability, the author presents a persuasive case for a faith-driven commitment to universal human welfare. This work remains a significant historical document for readers interested in the development of 20th-century religious thought, the history of missions, and the ethical foundations of social reform.
