Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Social Task of Christianity: A Summons to the New Crusade It is admitted by all students of human affairs that the present age is a time of crisis and change. It is even confessed by many Christian thinkers that the present generation will in all probability constitute a turning point of human history, and may determine the fortunes of Christianity for a thousand years. Whether men are aware of it or not the existing social order is dissolving before their eyes; and many things indicate that the forms in which men have known religion are dissolving in the general dissolution. This does not mean that the reign of anarchy is at hand or that chaos is about to come again. But it does mean that the old forms of society and the old formulas of religion no longer can contain the life and express the faith of to-day. This is certain that the ideas and ideals which inspired the fathers and determined the scale of their thought and faith are passing, if they have not already passed. The motives and methods which once guided their efforts and expressed their devotion are no longer adequate for the new world which is rising out of the ruins of the old. In sober truth it may be said that Christianity is passing through the most momentous crisis of its long history; and if the churches fail to read the signs of the times, or if they misread them, they will forfeit their election and lose the allegiance of mankind.
