Christianity and the social crisis
Book • 1912
In 'Christianity and the Social Crisis,' Walter Rauschenbusch examines the relationship between Christian ethics and the pressing social problems of his time.
Written in 1907 during the height of the Progressive Era, the book critiques the social structures that perpetuate inequality and injustice.
Rauschenbusch argues that Christianity's central message calls for the establishment of a 'Kingdom of God' on Earth, characterized by social justice and equality.
He emphasizes the importance of addressing systemic issues such as poverty, economic exploitation, and political corruption.
By urging Christians to actively engage in social reform, Rauschenbusch's work helped lay the foundations for the Social Gospel movement, advocating for a faith that transforms both individuals and society.
