The Social Gospel (1867)

By R J Michael

Book Overview

The Social Gospel is a book written by R. J. Michael and first published in 1867. The book is a comprehensive exploration of the social gospel movement, which emerged in the late 19th century as a response to the social problems and inequities of the Industrial Revolution. The movement was led by Christian ministers and social reformers who sought to apply the teachings of Jesus Christ to the issues of poverty, inequality, and injustice in society.In the book, Michael traces the history of the social gospel movement, from its roots in the teachings of the early Christian Church to its emergence as a significant force in American society in the late 1800s. He examines the key figures and organizations involved in the movement, including Walter Rauschenbusch, Washington Gladden, and the Social Gospel Fellowship.The book also explores the theological underpinnings of the social gospel movement, including its emphasis on the Kingdom of God, the importance of social justice, and the role of the church in promoting social reform. Michael argues that the social gospel movement was a significant force for positive change in American society, helping to inspire many of the social and political reforms of the early 20th century.Overall, The Social Gospel is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of social reform movements, the role of religion in social justice, or the intersection of faith and politics in American society.To Be Continued By The Social Code.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
