Synopsis

The Revolutionary Function of the Modern Church offers a bold view of faith in a changing world and how religion could lead social renewal.
This work argues that the church must adapt to the age of new ideas and social upheaval. It suggests that religion should address not only personal salvation but the wider social conditions that shape human life, from disease and poverty to education and work.

- Explains how traditional views of sin, individualism, and deprivation are challenged by a new, social understanding of humanity
- Explores the idea that a just, well-ordered society can foster healthier bodies, wealth, and character
- Discusses the church’s role in promoting reform through moral economy, social justice, and collective action
- Outlines the path for a modern church that links faith with practical action for the common good

Ideal for readers of religious history, social theory, and church reform who want a clear argument for tying faith to contemporary social needs.
