Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Social Gospel and the New Era The social function of the Christian Church is to bring God more consciously into human relationships with a view to have the Christian life flourish at its best. The reconstruction period has brought an enlarging conception of the kingdom ideal which is leading the modern Church to recast some of its notions and to readjust its methods, in order to broaden and intensify the personal religious life of the individual and to open up a larger field for social service. The central purpose of the author is (1) to give a clearer and more adequate conception of the significance and value of the kingdom ideal and spirit. (2) To survey the widening fields of opportunity for social service in which the Church should enter and cooperate more earnestly to actualize the triumph of God in human affairs. (3) To suggest some of the well-tested methods in the field of experience by which an approach can be made through the coordination of social forces and collective action to make the Church a greater constructive agency in the social life of mankind. The scope of the social task of the Church presents a multiplicity of opportunities and a diversity of activities for service, but these should not bewilder or confuse any one. The larger outlook tends to promote a common interest in the general work of the Church throughout the world and to evoke greater concentration and loyalty to the ideal of realizing a localized kingdom of heaven in each separate community.
