Abstract

The Social Gospel
July 20, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "A Theology for the Social Gospel," by Walter Rauschenbusch. The purpose of this volume is adaptation rather than innovation. Its field is limited to the development of the social content of certain of the fundamental doctrines of Christianity. Its purpose and result are thoroughly constructive. The most significant contribution that the social movement has to make to theological thought is its demand that religious thinking become scientific, not simply speculative. The modern theologian who keeps abreast of the investigations, of social science does not have to write allegories concerning the fall of man.
