Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Service Message, 1913: Men and Religion Movement; A Survey of Social Perils and How the Church Can More Effectively Combat Them When the United States Government faced the enterprise of digging the Panama Canal it had to set about the task of creating a new Panama through which to dig it. That region had been notoriously unhealthy, so that every tie of the Panama Railroad is said to have been laid at the cost of a man's life. Before taking its engineers and thousands of laborers thither, our government had to establish adequate hospital facilities and provide a competent staff of physicians and nurses; but it was also necessary to attempt to clean up the Isthmus, to drain the towns and do away with all standing pools where mosquitoes breed, to destroy rats and make regulations at the ports so that no others could get ashore from vessels, to erect sanitary villages in which the builders of the Canal could be safely kept. The result has been one of the miracles of modern times - the transformation of a pestilential locality into a health-resort; a place where no man lived who could possibly get away from it, into a place where large hotels are successfully run for steamer-loads of tourists who come seeking rest and new vitality. Jesus came to create a new earth wherein righteousness would dwell. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Service Message, 1913: Men and Religion Movement; A Survey of Social Perils and How the Church Can More Effectively Combat Them But Jesus was also the transformer of social conditions, the founder Of a divine social order. The phrase Oftenest on His lips was the King dom Of God. He proclaimed a new era Of jus tice, kindness and faithfulness in which men should dwell together in family relations under the fatherly control Of a God like Himself in character, a social order in which Zacchaeus would not be tempted to become extortionate, nor the passionate woman seduced to harlotry, nor Nicodemus made self - complacently cultured nor the wealthy young man mastered by his pos sessions, nor the Samaritan woman ruined by the home-wrecking ideals and conditions of a Sychar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few observers of American life today would doubt that sports occupy a prominent place in our society, but equally few have examined the origins of the country's greatest passion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years between 1900 and 1930, American psychiatrists transformed their profession from a marginal science focused primarily on the care of the mentally ill into a powerful discipline concerned with analyzing the common difficulties of everyday life. How did psychiatrists effect such a dramatic change in their profession's fortunes and aims? Here, Elizabeth Lunbeck examines how psychiatry grew to take the whole world of human endeavor as its object.
Download or read book The Search for Social Salvation written by Gary Scott Smith and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In their studies of social Christianity, scholars of American religion have devoted critical attention to a group of theologically liberal pastors, primarily in the Northeast. Gary Scott Smith attempts to paint a more complete picture of the movement. Smith's ambitious and thorough study amply demonstrates how social Christianity--which included blacks, women, Southerners, and Westerners--worked to solve industrial, political, and urban problems; reduce racial discrimination; increase the status of women; curb drunkenness and prostitution; strengthen the family; upgrade public schools; and raise the quality of public health. In his analysis of the available scholarship and case studies of individuals, organizations, and campaigns central to the movement, Smith makes a convincing case that social Christianity was the most widespread, long-lasting, and influential religious social reform movement in American history.

Download or read book Prostitution Polygamy and Power written by Jeffrey D. Nichols and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The controversy waned when the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began to move away from polygamy in the 1890s, but resurfaced with the rise of the anti-Mormon American Party that sponsored the Stockade prostitution district. Nichols traces the interplay of prostitution and reform through World War I, when Mormon and gentile moral codes converged at the expense of prostitutes. He also considers how polygamy and religious conflict distinguished Salt Lake City from other cities struggling to abolish prostitution in the Progressive Era."--Jacket.

Download or read book A History of the Roles and Responsibilities of Social Workers written by Mike Burt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-22 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing the origin of work with the ‘impotent poor’ under the Poor Laws, to social workers’ current responsibilities towards vulnerable people, this book introduces the reader to the way in which the identification of particular social problems at the end of the nineteenth century led to the emergence of a wide range of separate occupational groups and voluntary workers, which were sometimes, but increasingly, referred to as social workers. Using an extended single chronological historical narrative and analysis, which draws heavily on original archival sources and contemporary literature, it addresses the changes which took place as part of the welfare state and the identification of common roles and responsibilities by social workers, which led to the formation of the British Association of Social Workers in 1970. The expansion of roles and responsibilities in social services departments and voluntary societies is analysed, and their significance for the development of social work is evaluated. By highlighting the changes and continuities in these roles and responsibilities, this book will be of interest to all academics, students, and practitioners working within social work, who wish to know more about the origins of their discipline and the current state of the profession today.
