The Reconstruction of the Church: With Regard to Its Message and Program is a book written by Paul Moore Strayer, first published in 1915. The book explores the challenges facing the Christian church in the early 20th century and proposes a reconstruction of the church's message and program to better meet the needs of the modern world.Strayer argues that the church has become too focused on ritual and tradition, and that it needs to shift its emphasis to social justice and practical service to the community. He suggests that the church should adopt a more democratic structure, with greater participation from the laity, and that it should work to promote unity among different Christian denominations.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a historical overview of the Christian church, tracing its development from its early roots to the present day. The second part examines the challenges facing the church in the modern world, including the rise of scientific rationalism and the decline of traditional religious beliefs.The final part of the book presents Strayer's proposals for the reconstruction of the church. He suggests that the church should embrace a more progressive theology, one that is more open to scientific inquiry and more focused on social justice. He also argues that the church should work to promote greater unity among different Christian denominations and should adopt a more democratic structure, with greater participation from the laity.Overall, The Reconstruction of the Church is an important work of Christian theology that continues to be relevant today. Strayer's proposals for the reconstruction of the church offer valuable insights into how the church can adapt to the changing needs of the modern world while remaining true to its core values.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
