Synopsis

""The Social Application of Religion: The Merrick Lectures for 1907-08"" is a book written by Charles Stelzle, which explores the role of religion in shaping society. Through a series of lectures, Stelzle argues that religion has played a significant role in shaping social structures and institutions, and that it continues to have an important impact on contemporary society. The book examines the ways in which religion has influenced social movements and political ideologies, and how it has been used to justify both oppressive and liberating actions. Stelzle also explores the relationship between religion and morality, arguing that religion can provide a framework for ethical behavior and social justice. Overall, ""The Social Application of Religion"" offers a thought-provoking analysis of the complex and often controversial relationship between religion and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

No OTHER series of theM errick Lectures ever attracted so large audiences as the lectures now published the twelfth course on this foundation. In great part this was due to the fame of the speakers. Most of them are of more than national reputation. Their commanding personalities, their varied talents, their wide experience, and their eminent usefulness in differing positions inevitably drew large numbers, anxious to hear people who had done things tell what things ought to be done and why. Though the lecturers represent several religious denominations, and have been looking at different aspects of the social situation, and gave their addresses without previous consultation with one another, the general agreement of their views is striking. In part also, the interest in the lectures arose, as I believe, from the topics which they discussed. There is a genuine social awakening a deepening, if not new, sense of universal responsibility which has shown itself in philanthropy, in political reform, in vigorous discussion of family problems and commercial morality, in ardent and not unsuccessful efforts for industrial and social betterment.
