Social Principles of the Gospel

By Alphonse Lugan

"Social Principles of the Gospel" explores the profound relationship between the teachings of Jesus Christ and the structural organization of society. Written by Alphonse Lugan, a prominent figure in the development of social Catholicism, this work examines how the core tenets of the New Testament-justice, charity, and human dignity-should be applied to the socioeconomic challenges of the modern era.

The book delves into topics such as the rights of the individual, the responsibilities of the state, and the moral imperatives governing labor and wealth. By analyzing the social implications of Christ's message, Lugan argues that the Gospel provides a foundational framework for achieving a just and harmonious community. This study remains a significant contribution to Christian ethics and the sociology of religion, offering timeless insights into the role of faith in public life. It is an essential read for those interested in the history of social theology and the philosophical underpinnings of Christian social activism through the lens of early twentieth-century thought.
