About the 2nd Edition of 2000,
By Theseus "theseus" (US of A) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Prophetic Imperative: Social Gospel in Theory and Practice (Paperback)
"This is not a how-to-save-the-world book, but a challenge to mind and conscience in the context of a church community.
We have perhaps learned that true self-actualization, salvation, and fulfillment have to do with personal meaning and social responsibility. We are in the process of learning that church social action is not a small band of marginal activists in the church decrying church inaction or seeking to represent the whole church. Rather, it is a congregational practice of coming to terms with the mission of the religious community in a society that sometimes confuses the separation of church and state with the divorce of religion and public policy." Book Nitty-Gritty... This is the revised second edition of a book previously published under similar, but not identical titles. TABLE OF CONTENTS Theoretical Foundations - Living Under the Prophetic Imperative - Confessions of a Militant Mystic - Meeting the Wind We Inherit - Harnessing Our Deepest Explosions - A Covenant of Unenforceable Obligations Social Gospel in Practice - In Defense of Church "Interference" - Congretional Mobilization for Justice - Ten Commandments for Social Action - To Change the World Bibliography Index |
