By Kenneth Scott Latourette

Book Overview

The Christian Basis Of World Democracy is a book written by Kenneth Scott Latourette and published in 1919. The book explores the idea that democracy is rooted in Christian principles and values. Latourette argues that democracy is not just a political system, but a way of life that is grounded in the belief in the inherent worth and dignity of every human being. He examines the history of democracy and its relationship to Christianity, tracing the development of democratic ideals from ancient Greece and Rome to the modern world. The book also discusses the challenges facing democracy in the 20th century and the role that Christianity can play in promoting and sustaining democratic values. Overall, The Christian Basis Of World Democracy is a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection of religion and politics, and a call to action for Christians to work towards a more just and equitable world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
