Synopsis

Deeply rooted in the burgeoning social reform movement of the 1840s, this book takes as its aim the elevation of the working class and the democratization of the church. The author argues for a radical departure from the established norms of religion, as he perceived them, and promotes the idea that through Christian principles, an egalitarian society can be achieved. While acknowledging that his perspective is heterodox and far removed from the prevalent doctrines of the day, the author nevertheless draws authority from both the old and new testaments, and identifies himself as a Christian who believes in the divinity of Christ and the Holy Ghost. However, the author's Christianity is not that of the established church, which he considers to be out of touch with the needs of the working class and ultimately an obstacle to true social reform. Instead, he places a strong emphasis on the role of the individual Christian and the need for personal responsibility in the establishment of God's kingdom on earth. The author's vision extends beyond the mere alleviation of poverty and suffering, to the creation of a truly just and equitable society. Overall, this book offers a compelling and thought-provoking perspective on the relationship between Christianity, social reform, and the elevation of the working class. Its bold critique of the established church and its advocacy for the involvement of the individual Christian in the struggle for social justice make it a valuable contribution to the literature on these issues.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work.
