Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Political and Social Significance of the Life and Teachings of Jesus Every thoughtful person who has given even the slightest attention to the life and teachings of Jesus must have been impressed with the practical way in which he applied his principles of life to the every-day experiences of the people about him. As a student of social science and politics, it has been a source of satisfaction to me to see in how many cases the principles laid down by him have made their way, often without the will of political or social leaders, into the scheme of our modern life. The Christian religion has proved itself practical in politics, and statesmen are realizing as never before that God cannot be left out as a factor in public affairs. Like all of the great thinkers who have weighed the deeper problems of life, individual and social - Job, Aristotle, Dante, Shakespeare - Jesus looked deeper than the mere surface experiences of the day; and where they discussed and explained, he touched and solved the problems that are universal. The student is often struck by the modernness of the views of Aristotle in matters of politics. To a far greater degree may one notice the modernness of the teachings of Jesus on almost all questions of personal and social life, simply because he deals with the universal and his answers are complete for all time. Some five or six years ago, at the request of the Cornell University Christian Association, I gave a series of Sunday morning talks upon the application of the life and the teachings of Jesus to political and social problems. The views expressed by me, of course, are not those of a special student of biblical literature or of the principles of theology; they are the views of a layman, a student of politics and economics, who has taken a very great interest in seeing how the teachings which Jesus applied in his own life fit themselves into the views and practices of the best thinkers of the present day, as they have molded the practices of those of the past, so that they are surely, altho too slowly, regenerating the world.
