Synopsis
Excerpt from Democracy and the Church
For a long time I have wondered why it is that many intelligent persons who accept the genetic View of the development of life have no open-mindedness for the genetic view of history. They recognize that there are certain periods in the history of life when old environments give way, new forms of life appear showing a fresh summertime, and sustaining heart and hope. This class of persons may recognize that there is a history of art, and if they do not glory in the pre-raphaelite as Beauty's last word or accept the impressionist's school as the final despair of the creative gods, they do see continuity in Art; they do recognize that every time must create its own artistic forms in harmony with the terms and the conditions of its life. Literature in successive periods may flower out in the great secular bibles; the works of Homer, zeschylus, Dante, Shakespeare, Goethe. But even these men are social products as well as social forces, and literature has its continuity, its progress and its invincible relationships.

Democracy and the Church (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the profound influence of Christianity on the unfolding of democratic ideals. The author traces the lineage of democracy from its embryonic form in ancient Greece, through the diverse expressions in Rome and Israel, to its ultimate fulfillment in the teachings of Jesus Christ. Jesus's revolutionary message of love and equality laid the foundation for an ethical democracy, a society where all people, regardless of their social status or background, are valued and have the opportunity to thrive. By exploring the historical evolution of Christianity, from its humble beginnings as a persecuted sect to its eventual role as a catalyst for social transformation, this book sheds light on the essential compatibility between Christian principles and the aspirations of modern democracy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330299319_0
