Excerpt from The Church and Social Reforms
This is her first duty. The second one is to summon her members to go forth, whether they belong to the so-called classes or masses, and each one for himself, at any cost, to live these principles in his own life, and, in such collective association as shall promise most effective result, to use the utmost endeavour to bring the wrongdoer and the wronged into obedience to these holy laws.
That all this is not idle dreaming Dr. Howerton shows from the record of other crises which have resolved themselves into beneficent advance or into chaotic retrogression in measure as the Christ voice has been heeded or ignored.
Because we knew of the author's wide and well used opportunities for observation, of his clarity and force of thought, and of his loyalty to Christian truth in which all effective social reform must root itself and by it be guided, the New Brunswick Theological Seminary asked from him these lectures, and now gladly seeks for them a wider audience. We feel that there is in them that which will aid towards the coming of the kingdom for which the Lord Christ gave Himself and over which He will reign as the Prince of Peace.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the relationship between the Christian church and the ongoing drive for social justice. The author argues that the Church has a central role to play in addressing inequalities and working towards broader social transformation. Drawing on historical case studies of religious struggles in the 16th and 17th centuries, the author argues that both in the past and the present, major social reforms have been driven by moral insights and religious convictions. This book reviews the major social and economic changes that have led to the current unrest and discusses the ways in which the Church can enter into conversation with activists and political leaders in order to work towards a more just society. This book will appeal to readers interested in the relationship between faith and social change, as well as the role of the Church in the modern era.
