Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sociological Study of the Bible This book is an evolutionary study of Christendom. Although it largely takes the form of research into ancient history, it is in substance an inquiry into vital questions of today. Owing to the recent separation of Church and State, there is a tendency to take for granted that religion deals only with matters of belief about things that have no concern for "practical" persons, or that it relates only to private, individual affairs. Hence the need for pointing out that the vital religious ideas of Christian society took shape in response to a social pressure as tremendous and compelling as that in which we live today. The present social revival of the church is part of a wider awakening which extends beyond the limits of religious institutions, and which has already put its deep mark on the age. Although every period of history has its own difficulties, there are times in which the social problem bids for attention more acutely and insistently than at others; and the present seems to be such a time. The purpose of this book is to state, as clearly and simply as possible, the relation of the Bible to the social problem. The title Sociological Study of the Bible seems to carry much of its own explanation with it. But the term "sociology" is a new one; and some prefatory statement of the general drift of the treatise will therefore be of more than usual assistance to the reader. In the first place, this book takes the standpoint of what is called "pure science." It seeks to know the historical facts of the subject before it, and to interpret these facts in their actual, historical connections.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sociology of the Bible The lectures on Sociology I have been giving the students of our Theological Seminary for the past six years have been designed to make them leaders of the church in a conscious and intelligent effort to better society. I have tried to show them how the knowl edge of the laws of God as we discover them both in the social life of mankind generally, and especially in the social life described in the Bible, may be applied in establishing the Kingdom of God, the highest ideal of society in each community and in the whole earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Social Teachings of the Jewish Prophets: A Study in Biblical Sociology This study also frankly assumes that the social message of the Jewish prophet weis intended for his own times. Each had in mind a real and present situation. This fact limits the application of the prophet's social message in two ways. In the first place, the social program of the prophets does not include the social problems that have grown out of new conditions that did not exist in their time. In the second place, there were, in the days of the prophets, acute social problems to which they di rected their attention and which have either found solution, or changing conditions have made unim portant. On the other hand, there were incipient social situations, like slavery, which were later to grow into serious problems that baffled the reform ers of many generations, but which received scanty attention at the hands of the prophets. It is hardly necessary to say that the author does not claim great originality for the views expressed in this book. The footnotes and list of readings at the end of each chapter will reveal the fact that many volumes have been referred to in the prepara tion of the book. However, the diversity of opin ions of Bible scholars and the fragmentary nature of the social material has made it necessary to choose between conflicting views, and to collect the social data largely by independent effort. An at tempt has been made to preempt the prophetic litera ture of its social content, and let it convey its own message. The author hopes that in the task he has not made omissions of important data.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Progressive Studies in the Bible The present volume is an effort to meet the demand for a text book of the Bible that will make the study of it equal to any other branch in point of culture, and at the same time impart such knowledge of the Hebrew nation, its place in hisory, God's purpose in it and his method of dealing with it, as every liberally educated person ought to know. These studies were originally given as lectures to college classes and have assumed their present form largely under the inspiration of the classroom. It has been difficult to confine ourselves strictly to our original pur pose, to present one fundamental phase of biblical truth. We think by adhering to this purpose confusion is avoided and a foundation laid for intelligent personal studyu Much is left for the teacher in the way of comment and applica tion, and many opportunities afforded to explain the ap plication of the principles of the Hebrew government to modern society. We have made no effort to discuss in spiration, authorship, etc. Those who wish to follow this line of study can find many books on it. We have taken the Bible as it is and endeavored to learn its contents, its purpose and spirit. Although prepared primarily for col lege students in regular class work, the book may be used in Normal classes, under the direction of the pastor, or in special classes in Sabbath Schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religion in the Making: A Study in Biblical Sociology For nearly twenty years I have been teaching sociology to the upper classmen in the University of Minnesota. During about the same length of time I have been teaching the Bible to special classes in connection with the Peoples Church of St. Paul. It was not until ten years ago that the thought occurred to me that there is anything in common between these two departments of labor. About that time I formed the opinion that sociology might prove one of the best instruments for the interpretation of the Bible, and that, on the other hand, the bible might prove to be one of the best sources of sociology material. My subsequent studies have been largely influenced by this conclusion. During two winters I pursued the joint study with selected companies of students. The work seemed so promising that four years ago I offered work in biblical sociology to my classes in the university. This is a condensation of a part of the work done in the university classes.
