The global crises of child labor, alcoholism and poverty were all brought to our attention through the social gospel movement. Its impact on American society makes it one of the most influential developments in American religious history. Christopher H. Evans traces the development of the social gospel in American Protestantism, and illustrates how the religious idealism of the movement also rose up within Judaism and Catholicism. Contrary to the works of previous historians, Evans demonstrates how the presence of the social gospel continued in American culture long after its alleged demise following World War I. Evans reveals the many aspects of the social gospel and their influence on a range of social movements during the twentieth century, culminating with the civil rights movement in the 1950's and 1960's. It also explores the relationship between the liberal social gospel of the early twentieth century and later iterations of social reform in late twentieth century evangelicalism. The Social Gospel in American Religion considers an impressive array of historical figures including Washington Gladden, Emil Hirsch, Frances Willard, Reverdy Ransom, Walter Rauschenbusch, Stephen Wise, John Ryan, Harry Emerson Fosdick, A.J. Muste, Georgia Harkness, and Benjamin Mays. It demonstrates how these figures contributed to the shape of the social gospel in America, while arguing that the movement?s legacy lies in its profound influence on broader traditions of liberal-progressive political reform in American history. 606 $aSocial gospel$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aChristian sociology$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aSocial ethics$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aChurch and social problems$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aReligion and sociology$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aSocial gospel$xHistory. 615 0$aChristian sociology$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial ethics$xHistory. 615 0$aChurch and social problems$xHistory. 615 0$aReligion and sociology$xHistory. 676 $a261.80973 700 $aEvans$b Christopher H.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$025450 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820508103321 996 $aThe Social Gospel in American Religion$93959105 997 $aUNINA
