The Reconstruction Of The Church: With Regard To Its Message And Program (1915)

By Paul Moore Strayer

Book Overview

The Reconstruction of the Church: With Regard to Its Message and Program is a book written by Paul Moore Strayer in 1915. The book is a critique of the state of the Christian church at the time and proposes a reconstruction of its message and program. Strayer argues that the church has lost its way and become too focused on ritual and tradition, rather than the core message of Christianity. He suggests that the church needs to return to its roots and focus on the teachings of Jesus Christ. The book is divided into three parts. The first part discusses the problems with the current state of the church and how it has strayed from its original purpose. The second part proposes a new message for the church, one that focuses on the teachings of Jesus and the importance of love, compassion, and service. The third and final part of the book outlines a new program for the church, including changes to worship, education, and outreach. Overall, The Reconstruction of the Church is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to reconsider the purpose and mission of the Christian church. It remains relevant today, as many of the issues Strayer addresses are still present in modern-day Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
