Download or read book Gender and the Social Gospel written by Wendy J. Deichmann Edwards and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays examines the central, yet often overlooked, role played by women in the formation of the social gospel movement in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A practical theological response to the stark realities of poverty and injustice prevalent in turn-of-the-century America, the social gospel movement sought to apply the teachings of Jesus and the message of Christian salvation to society by striving to improve the lives of the impoverished and the disenfranchised. The contributors to this volume set out to broaden our understanding of this radical movement by examining the lives of some of its passionate and vibrant female participants and the ways in which their involvement expanded and enriched the scope of its activity. In addition to examining the lives of individual women, the essays in Gender and the Social Gospel contain broader analyses of the gender and racial issues that have caused the histories of movements such as the social gospel to be viewed almost exclusively in terms of their male, European-American, intellectual participants at the expense of the women, African Americans, and Canadians whose contributions were just as worthy of attention.

Download or read book Canada s Religions written by Robert Choquette and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each Canadian Census reveals Canada to be an Overwhelmingly religious country. With nine out of ten Canadians claiming a religious affiliation of some kind - Aboriginal, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Islamic, Hindu, or one of dozens of new religions - faith has necessarily had an influence on citizens' personal and social lives. In Canada's Religions, Robert Choquette offers a history of religion in Canada and examines the ongoing tug-of-war between modernity and conservatism within the religious traditions themselves. Given that religion affects so many areas of daily life, including politics, education, community standards, and general behaviour, Canada's Religions provides academics, students, and educated readers with an excellent overview of the impact of religion on Canadian life. Understanding the various religions in Canada, argues Choquette, facilitates tolerance and acceptance, and eases the hostility that people may feel towards lesser known faiths. Through illustrative stories and indepth research, Canada's Religions offers an invaluable resource, placing religion within an ever-changing social context and inviting the reader to a new level of understanding of Canada's religious faiths.

Download or read book The New Christianity written by Salem Bland and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1973-12-15 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, a survey of the Canadian scene that urged various reforms, appeared shortly after the First World War. It was considered to be extremely radical in its proposals and implications at that time and had the distinction of being one of that rare breed of attempts to survey Canadian developments in terms of large principles of analysis or historical development. In The New Christianity, Salem Bland tried to place the unrest of the times in a large historical perspective and brought social, political, and economic developments into conjunction with main trends of religion in recent decades. His central theme was that the processes of industrial and social consolidation, the growth of organized labour, and the spread of sociological ideas spelled the end of the old order of capitalism and Protestantism which had dominated most of western Christendom for three centuries. Specifically, the primary impediment to full realization of democracy and brotherhood, Bland argued, was modern capitalism based on private property rights in industry and motivated by a competitive individualism. The second impediment to a new social order embodying the Christian spirit was the strong attachment of Christians to their traditions. The chief hope of the future lay in a marriage of labour Christianity and American Christianity that would unite with all other traditions in a worldwide ecumenical movement. Fifty years later, the reprinting of this book is important because it is an instructive study in how the highest traditions of Christianity came into radical conjunction with the currents of economic change, social reform, and political upheaval in Canada in the first decades of this century.
