Theology For The Social Gospel

This book is udoubtedly the author’s most enduring work. It is here that the author, the father of the social gospel in the United States, articulates the theolgoical roots of the social activism that surged forth from mainline Protestant churches in the early part of this century. Skillfully examining the great theological issues of the Christian faith–sin, evil, salvation, the kingdom of God–the author offers a powerful justification for the chuuch to fully engage society.
