Interpretation of the Social Gospel concept in two related areas of thought: What is the structure of Christian social-ethical thought, and in what way is the New Testament a resource for social ethics? This book treats many areas of process formation, raising concrete and general questions and issues of concern to the Christian perspective.
Reviews
“Republication of this important monograph, which was discovered by the editor and first published (1968) fifty years after the author’s death, will serve two purposes. For historians of Rauschenbusch and 19th century American Christianity it offers a corrective to the prevalent idea that the source of his social ethic was primarily liberalism, for it reveals the biblical and theological core of the ethic that became the Social Gospel Movement. For contextual theologians it offers a vigorous example of the (re)contextualization of the gospel and the construction of a contemporary Public Theology. The updated introduction (1999) is particularly relevant for relating Rauschenbusch’s thought to contemporary democratic, socialist, and liberation movements.” – Theological Book Review
