Smucker reveals that while the roots of Rauschenbusch's new paradigm lay to some extent in his personal experiences his parents' rejection of the Lutheran perspective for that of the Baptists, his father's pietism, and his eleven-year pastorate in New York's Hell's Kitchen it was his exposure to the new politics of Henry George and Edward Bellamy, to the Christian socialism of England and Switzerland, and, aided by his knowledge of German and his experiences in Europe, to a wide range of scholarship sensitive to the main social currents of the day that deeply informed his ethic. Smucker also shows how Rauschenbusch drew upon the work of Christian ethicists, historians, and sociologists to support his new pluralistic synthesis.Social ethicsSocial gospelChurch and social problemsSocial ethics.Social gospel.Church and social problems.261.8/092Smucker Donovan E(Donovan Ebersole),1915-1151187MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782709103321The origins of Walter Rauschenbusch's social ethics3703282UNINA
