Publisher's Synopsis
Social Idealism and the Changing Theology: A Study of the Ethical Aspects of Christian Doctrine is a book written by Gerald Birney Smith and published in 1913. The book explores the relationship between social idealism and Christian theology, specifically focusing on the ethical aspects of Christian doctrine. Smith argues that the changing social and economic conditions of the time necessitate a reexamination of traditional Christian teachings, particularly in regards to the role of the church in promoting social justice and equality. The book is divided into three parts: the first examines the historical development of Christian ethics, the second explores the relationship between social idealism and Christian doctrine, and the third proposes a new ethical framework for the church that is more aligned with the needs of modern society. Smith's work is considered a significant contribution to the study of Christian ethics and theology, and continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.The Nathaniel William Taylor Lectures For 1912, Delivered Before The Yale Divinity School.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
