Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If anyone was ever a socialist, it was Jesus."—Kelley Rose, Democratic Socialists of America Economist and historian Lawrence W. Reed has been hearing people say "Jesus was a socialist" for fifty years. And it has always bothered him. Now he is doing something about it. His new book demolishes the claim that Jesus was a socialist. Jesus called on earthly governments to redistribute wealth? Or centrally plan the economy? Or even impose a welfare state? Hardly. Point by point, Reed answers the claims of socialists and progressives who try to enlist Jesus in their causes. As he reveals, nothing in the New Testament supports their contentions. Was Jesus a Socialist? could not be more timely. Socialism has made a shocking comeback in America. Poll after poll shows that young Americans have a positive image of socialism. In fact, more than half say they would rather live in a socialist country than in a capitalist one. And as socialism has come back into vogue, more and more of its advocates have tried to convince us that Jesus was a socialist. This rhetoric has had an impact. According to a 2016 poll by the Barna Group, Americans think socialism aligns better with Jesus's teachings than capitalism does. When respondents were asked which of that year's presidential candidates aligned closest to Jesus's teachings, a self-proclaimed "democratic socialist" came out on top. Sure enough, the same candidate earned more primary votes from under-thirty voters than did the eventual Democratic and Republican nominees combined. And in a 2019 survey, more than 70 percent of millennials said they were likely to vote for a socialist. Was Jesus a Socialist? expands on the immensely popular video of the same name that Reed recorded for Prager University in July 2019. That video has attracted more than four million views online. Ultimately, Reed shows the foolishness of trying to enlist Jesus in any political cause today. He writes: "While I don't believe it is valid to claim that Jesus was a socialist, I also don't think it is valid to argue that he was a capitalist. Neither was he a Republican or a Democrat. These are modern-day terms, and to apply any of them to Jesus is to limit him to but a fraction of who he was and what he taught."

Download or read book Christian Socialism written by Philip Turner and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2022-05-26 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian Socialism arose in England in the mid-nineteenth century as a response to the philosophy of 'political economy' - now commonly called neoliberalism. Seeking not institutional change or nationalisation, but a reform of the moral underpinnings of society, it refuted the assumption that people are essentially selfish, competitive individuals seeking nothing but personal happiness. Although they did not deny the presence of selfishness, its proponents believed that the social nature of humankind lies deeper than such egotism and conflict, and pursued a society built on this belief. Less prominent now than at the time of its inception, Christian Socialism nevertheless continues into the twenty-first century, its goal nothing less than a new society built upon the virtues of equality, fellowship, cooperation, service and justice. Philip Turner's careful exposition traces the history of this strand of Anglican political thought and restores confidence in its message for the future.

THE SOCIALIST'S CHURCH CHAPTER I THE CHURCH AS AN INSTRUMENT OF SOCIAL REFORM It was early in the year 1850 that F. D. Maurice and the little band of men he had gathered round him first gave utterance to that most pregnant phrase, Christian Socialism. And from that time onwards there have always been Churchmen who have insisted that the principles of Socialism are distinctly Christian principles. They have done this, as Maurice and Kingsley and the others did it, in the face of a twofold opposition, being attacked by those Socialists who held that in order to establish Socialism you must destroy Religion, as well as by those Christians who maintained that it was life after death, or only spiritual matters here and not a righteous condition of industry on earth, that Religion had to deal with. This A attack is still going on. Mr. Blatchford and Mr. Belfort Bax are as vehement against what they suppose to be the Christian Religion as ever Karl Marx was; and, on the other hand, there are still some Churchmen who teach that the poor's chief duty is contentment. But on the whole the situation has changed and is changing; Mr. G. Bernard Shaw's declaration of his belief that it is only by means of Religion that Socialism can be accomplished is as significant on the one side as the declarations made by Bishops and others at the Carlisle Church Congress were on the other: it still indeed pays the opposite party at an election to call the Socialist or Labour candidate an atheist, but such candidates--if they have not the electoral courage to reply, "If I am an atheist, what has that to do with the question, or with you?"--are easily able to get priest after priest to come to their support Now, even though the next general election may not turn, as...

Download or read book Paul Tillich and Religious Socialism written by Kirk R. MacGregor and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-03-19 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Tillich and Religious Socialism: Towards a Kingdom of Peace and Justice argues that the Kingdom of God—the reign of God over all human affairs via God’s manifestations in love, power, and justice—can be fragmentarily achieved through a religious socialism that creatively integrates the early Tillich’s socialist thinking with later insights throughout Tillich’s theological career and with contemporary developments in just peacemaking. The resulting religious socialism is defined by economic justice and a recognition of the sacred reality in all human endeavors. It employs Christianity to furnish the necessary depth for warding off materialism and affirming the spiritual dimension of both labor and acquiring material goods. The unbridgeable Marxist chasm between expectation and reality is bridged through new being, already historically inaugurated in the Christhood of Jesus. New being is fundamentally oriented toward bringing justice to the poor, the disenfranchised, and the marginalized. It affirms the individual and equal value of all persons and thus, in Kantian terms, promotes a kingdom of intrinsically worthwhile ends rather than a kingdom of instrumentally worthwhile means of things.
