Foreword This book, the second of the Social Problem Discussion Series, has a somewhat different form from the first -W hat is the Christian View of Work and Wealth? It contains a running text instead of reference material gathered from a variety of sources. But it is none the less a discussion course. The outline and the manner of treatment have been determined by the committee and the same kind of discussion has gone into the preparation of the course that it is hoped to elicit by means of it. The text has been written with a view not merely to stating facts or declaring opinions, but to laying bare the issues and enabling the group to approach the problems involved in the subject matter. On first thought many of the questions here dealt with seem to be of too technical a nature for popular discussion. What is contemplated, however, is a moral appraisal of the situation presented by industry in the light of our common heritage of ethical ideals. Suggestions to Leaders The leader will doubtless find himself serving the group best if he keeps as much as possible out of its way. He is really the chairman of a meeting. He should not attempt to put over any particular point of view, but to see to it that there is fair discus sion. To this end, he probably will not wish to take part himself. He will have all he can do if he carries out his duties as chairman, stating the questions, seeing that all sides are represented in the discussion, and summarizing the conclusions. He may find a blackboard of help if he is handling a large group. The chairman will also need to see that the necessary information for intelligent discussion is before the meeting. 49311.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, part of a Christian Problem Discussion Series, analyzes the complex relationship between Christianity and economics, specifically poverty. The author argues that poverty, while romanticized by some as a path to virtue, is in reality a destructive force. Using historical examples and in the context of broader economic and social conditions, the author presents a compelling argument that fighting poverty and seeking economic justice is a Christian imperative. The book's thoughtful insights into the intersection of faith and economic problems make it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand and address the moral dimensions of poverty.
