A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Preface While such classics as Plato s Republic and Mores Utopia show that the problem of society has engaged the worlds great thinkers in former times ;yet it may be truly said that no previous age was so much occupied with social questions as the present. From this widespread and still growing interest the Christian Churches cannot stand aloof; and the record of the function of Christianity in history sketched in the volume justifies the conviction that they ought not. The Christian Church has in the past exerted a profound moral influence on society, and has brought about far-reaching changes in social conditions. This series of essays, each of which is written by a scholar specially qualified by his previous studies for the task he has undertaken, aims at exhibiting not only the principles which from time to time have found recognition as constituting the Christian I deal of Society, but also the methods by which that I deal has -been partially realized under varying circumstances. It is hoped that in fulfilling this purpose the volume will not only suggest changes which are to-day desirable, but also means of bringing those about which are practicable.
