Jesus Christ and the Social Question: An Examination of the Teaching of Jesus in Its Relation to Some of the Problems of Modern Social Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025756851)

"Jesus Christ and the Social Question" is a foundational study exploring the intersection of Christian teachings and the complex social dilemmas of modern life. Francis Greenwood Peabody provides a comprehensive examination of how the message of the New Testament applies to the economic and moral challenges of the industrial age. The work delves into various social questions, including the distribution of wealth, the nature of industrial relations, and the role of the family, all viewed through the lens of Jesus's ethical instruction.

By analyzing the Gospels, Peabody seeks to bridge the gap between individual spiritual devotion and collective social responsibility. He argues that the principles of the kingdom of God are not merely abstract ideals but practical guides for navigating the tensions between capital and labor, and for addressing the needs of the marginalized. This volume remains a significant contribution to the Social Gospel movement, offering a thoughtful reflection on how faith can drive social progress and ethical reform in a rapidly changing world. It is an essential read for those interested in the history of Christian ethics and the development of social theology.
