Excerpt from The Struggle for Justice
Two great movements are uniting in our day, like two rivers flowing together to form a larger stream - the social awakening and the modem, scientific interpretation of religion and the Bible.
At first glance, it seems as if there can be no relation between academic scholarship and our new search for social justice. Yet these movements have an extremely intimate and vital connection, which comes into view as we go behind the scenes and carefully observe the working of the forces that control the evolution of human society.
The main thought of this little book has been expressed more technically and at greater length in the writer's earlier volume, entitled Sociological Study of the Bible. The friendly reception given to that work has suggested this briefer presentation.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich historical tapestry of the Bible, unearthing its profound social message that justice is the driving force of true religion. The author traces the evolution of biblical thought from ancient struggles for justice among Hebrew clans to the rise of monotheism, where justice became an unyielding demand of the one true God. Exploring the ongoing battle between justice and dogma, the book reveals how wealth and power have often overshadowed the core message of morality in religious institutions. It highlights the pivotal role of figures like Jesus and the Hebrew prophets in challenging injustice, and examines the tension between personal righteousness and social justice in modern times. The author argues that the social awakening of our era echoes the biblical call for justice, urging readers to reconsider the nature of morality in light of social inequalities. This book is a captivating exploration of the Bible's enduring relevance, demonstrating its profound insights into the human struggle for justice and the ongoing evolution of religious thought.
