Synopsis

Walter Rauschenbusch addresses the rise of the Social Gospel movement in A Theology for the Social Gospel. As an American Christian theologian, he introduces the idea that theology must grow to incorporate a social gospel that addresses social justice in terms of Christian teachings. He advances the idea that the kingdom of God is central to social gospel and the growth of theology in modern times. WALTER RAUSCHENBUSCH (1861-1918) was an American Christian theologian, author, and Baptist minister. He is best known for his influence on Christianity in impressing upon Christians the importance of their social obligations to others (helping the poor, fighting for the betterment of society, etc.) and spreading the Kingdom of God by living a Christlike life.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In A pril, 1917, I had the honour of delivering four lectures on the Nathaniel W. Taylor Foundation before the Annual Convocation of the Yale School of Religion. These lectures are herewith presented in elaborated form. The Taylor Lectures are expected to deal with some theme in Doctrinal Theology, but the Faculty in their invitation indicated that a discussion of some phase of the social problem would be welcome. I have tried to obey this suggestion and still to remain well within the original purpose of the Foundation by taking as my subject, AT heology for the Social Gospel. Of my qualifications for this subject I have reason to think modestly, for I am not a doctrinal theologian either by professional training or by personal habits of mind. Professional duty and intellectual liking have made me a teacher of Church History, and the events of my life, interpreted by my religious experiences, have laid the social problems on my mind. On the other hand, it may be that the necessity of approaching systematic theology from the outside may be of real advantage. Theology has often received its most fruitful impulses when secular life and movements have set it new problems. Of the subject itself I have no cause to speak modestly. I ts consideration is of the highest importance for the future of theology and religion.

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. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
