Book Overview
"The Drift of the Day" is an insightful exploration of the spiritual and social currents shaping the early 20th century. Written by Burris Jenkins, a prominent figure in the liberal religious movement, this work offers a series of reflections on how faith and moral philosophy must adapt to the rapidly changing landscape of the late 1920s. Jenkins addresses the challenges posed by modern skepticism, the evolution of social ethics, and the role of the church in a world increasingly defined by scientific inquiry and industrial growth.
Through a lens of optimism and intellectual rigor, Jenkins argues for a religion that is both practical and deeply engaged with contemporary human experience. The text examines the "drift" of modern life-the subtle and overt shifts in public opinion, ethics, and theology-and seeks to find a steadying influence in the core principles of Christian thought. "The Drift of the Day" serves as a vital historical document of the Social Gospel era, providing readers with a thoughtful analysis of how spiritual life can bridge the gap between tradition and progress. This work remains a significant contribution to the study of American religious history and the enduring quest for meaning in a modern age.
