Synopsis

Christianizing Community Life is a book written by Harry Frederick Ward and originally published in 1917. The book explores the concept of social Christianity and how it can be applied to community life. Ward argues that Christianity should not only be a personal belief system, but also a way of life that informs and shapes the way communities function. Ward examines various social issues, such as poverty, labor relations, and race relations, and offers Christian solutions to these problems. He believes that Christians should be actively involved in the social and political spheres of their communities, working to bring about positive change and promote justice and equality. The book also explores the role of the church in community life, arguing that the church should be a center of social and cultural activity, as well as a place of worship. Ward believes that the church has a responsibility to provide education, recreation, and other resources to the community, in addition to spiritual guidance.Overall, Christianizing Community Life is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to consider the role of Christianity in shaping community life. Ward's ideas are still relevant today, and the book remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in social justice and Christian ethics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Christianizing Community Life takes eighth place in a series of text-books known as College Voluntary Study Courses. The general outline for this curriculum has been prepared by the Committee on Voluntary Study of the Council of North American Student Movements, representing the Student Young Men sand Young Women s Christian Associations and the Student Volunteer Movement, and the Sub Committee on College Courses of the Sunday School Council of Evangelical Denominations, representing twenty-nine communions. Therefore the text-books are planned for the use of student classes in the Sunday school, as well as for the supplementary groups on the campus. The present text-book has been written from detailed outline approved by these Committees. The text-books are not suitable for use in the academic curriculum, as they have been definitely planned for voluntary study groups. This series, covering four years, is designed to form a minimum curriculum for the voluntary study of the Bible, foreign missions, and North American problems. Daily Bible Readings are printed with each text-book.
