Jesus on Social Institutions (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781025754512)

"Jesus on Social Institutions" is a compelling examination of the sociological implications found within the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Written by Shailer Mathews, a prominent figure in the Social Gospel movement, this work explores how the spiritual principles of the Kingdom of God intersect with and transform the fundamental structures of human society.

Mathews provides a rigorous analysis of Jesus's perspectives on the family, the state, economic life, and the broader social order. Rather than viewing the Gospel through a purely individualistic lens, the author argues that the message of Jesus provides a foundational framework for addressing the complexities of collective human relationships and social reform. By grounding his study in the historical and social context of the New Testament, Mathews illustrates how the revolutionary ethics of the New Testament serve as a catalyst for social evolution and justice.

This scholarly and insightful study remains an essential contribution to Christian sociology and theological ethics. It offers a profound look at how faith can be applied to the challenges of organized society, making it a valuable resource for those interested in the historical development of the Social Gospel and the enduring relevance of Christian social thought.
