[First printed in 1956: Methodist union catalog C4934] Contents -- Preface -- Foreword -- I Introduction -- II Home and family -- III The economic order: (1) production -- IV The economic order: (2) distribution and consumption -- V Christianity and politics -- VI International relations -- VII The use of leisure -- VIII Special problems: (I) Alcohol and human welfare; (II) Gambling as a major social evil -- General index. -- From the Preface: `It is not claimed that all the views advanced are necessarily those of most Methodists, least of all that they are the official view, but the official pronouncements of the Methodist Conference have been kept steadily in mind, and also the general literature that has grown up in the name of the `Beckly Trust'. In every chapter we have felt much sympathy with the Scottish preacher who, at the end of a four-hour sermon, apologized to the congregation, not for the length of his discourse, but because in the short time available to him he had only been able to touch the fringe of the subject.' -- From the Foreword: `This book is written by men whose sociology is rooted in theology. Mr Byrnes and Mr Coggle have woven their social witness into their pastoral ministry, and they write from experience. They have tried to answer the searching question: what does `loving my neighbour as myself' and `bearing one another's burdens' really mean in the complexity of contemporary life? They are dealing with an important aspect of the fullness of the Christian message. I commend this book most warmly.'. Binding is Hardcover.
