A Theology for the Social Gospel
A Theology for the Social Gospel is undoubtedly Walter Rauschenbusch's most enduring work. It is here that Rauschenbusch, the father of the social gospel in the United States, articulates the theological roots of social activism that surged forth from mainline Protestant churches in the early part of the twentieth century. Skillfully examining the great theological issues of the Christian faith--sin, evil, salvation, and the kingdom of God--Rauschenbauch offers a powerful justification for the church to fully engage society. The Library of Theological Ethics series focuses on what it means to think theologically and ethically. It presents a selection of important and otherwise unavailable texts in easily accessible form. Volumes in this series will enable sustained dialogue with predecessors though reflection on classic works in the field.

Selected spiritual writings of Walter Rauschenbusch (1851-1918), a Baptist minister and theologian who was the primary voice of the Social Gospel movement in the early 20th century.

Christianity and the Social Crisis
A primary architect of the Social Gospel, a movement that responded to the changing social and industrial conditions in the U.S. during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, presents his prophetic interpretation of Jesus and the kingdom, understanding of troubling conditions that call the church to faithful witness, and to work toward meaningful political and economic reforms.
Walter Rauschenbusch
The final book of this three-volume set brings together important texts of Walter Rauschenbush, most significantly an unpublished book, "Christianity Revolutionary" first begun in 1891-92. In addition, this volume contains Rauschenbusch's last major work, A Theology for the Social Gospel (1917). This answered the call for a serious theological underpinning of the social gospel. Volume III also includes three shorter publications of Rauschenbusch: "The Kingdom of God" defines one of his major principles, "The Value and Use of History" reveals the premises of his vocation, and "Why I am a Baptist'" is a series of editorials that provided a timely apologetic for Baptist principles. As with the ...
The Search for Social Salvation
In their studies of social Christianity, scholars of American religion have devoted critical attention to a group of theologically liberal pastors, primarily in the Northeast. Gary Scott Smith attempts to paint a more complete picture of the movement. Smith's ambitious and thorough study amply demonstrates how social Christianity--which included blacks, women, Southerners, and Westerners--worked to solve industrial, political, and urban problems; reduce racial discrimination; increase the status of women; curb drunkenness and prostitution; strengthen the family; upgrade public schools; and raise the quality of public health. In his analysis of the available scholarship and case studies of individuals, organizations, and campaigns central to the movement, Smith makes a convincing case that social Christianity was the most widespread, long-lasting, and influential religious social reform movement in American history.
