Christianizing the Social Order: With a New Introduction by Christopher H. Evans

A follow-up to his best-selling Christianity and the Social Crisis, Walter Rauschenbusch's Christianizing the Social Order is his most comprehensive study of the relationship between Christianity and social reform, particularly for political and economic justice.

First published in 1912, this pioneering work explores how the fundamental structure of society can be conformed to the moral demands of the Christian spirit. An example par excellence of what became known as public theology, Christianizing the Social Order describes the social awakening of religious institutions, subjects the then-present social order to moral analysis, and suggests methods of advance.
