Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the dramatic social awakening that swept through the United States in the early 20th century. The author, a keen observer of his time, illuminates a period of moral introspection and reform, where business practices clashed with ideals of Christianity and democracy. The book examines the profound impact of this social upheaval on the American churches, analyzing the evolution of religious thought and action in response to the changing landscape of society. The author investigates the churches' hesitant yet ultimately significant shift towards social engagement, exploring the emergence of a "social gospel" that sought to apply Christian principles to pressing social issues. He examines the various denominations, their positions on social problems, and the role of influential figures in advocating for social justice. With historical clarity and keen insight, the author presents a nuanced perspective on the complex relationship between religious institutions and social progress, challenging readers to consider the power of faith in shaping a more just and equitable society. This book offers a compelling and thought-provoking analysis of the changing face of American Christianity during a period of profound social transformation.
