Publisher's Synopsis
""Social Religion: An Interpretation of Christianity in Terms of Modern Life"" is a book written by American socialist and economist Scott Nearing. The book explores the intersection of Christianity and modern society, arguing that Christianity is inherently a social religion that promotes equality, justice, and community. Nearing examines the teachings of Jesus and argues that they are fundamentally socialist in nature, advocating for the sharing of resources and the elimination of poverty. He also discusses the role of the church in modern society, arguing that it should be a force for social change rather than simply a place of worship.Throughout the book, Nearing provides examples of how Christianity can be applied to contemporary issues such as labor rights, income inequality, and environmentalism. He also critiques the capitalist system and argues that it is incompatible with Christian values.Overall, ""Social Religion"" offers a thought-provoking interpretation of Christianity that emphasizes its role in promoting social justice and equality in modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
