The Founder of Christendom (Classic Reprint): An Address Delivered Before the Unitarian Club of Toronto: An Address Delivered Before the Unitarian Club of Toronto (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
In The Founder of Christendom, Goldwin Smith argues that Jesus reshaped world history through ideas about God, humanity, and wealth.
This address surveys the ripple effects of Jesus’s teaching on wealth, poverty, equality, and the role of religion in public life. It contrasts the founder’s spirit with later political and economic systems, showing how Christian ideas have influenced institutions, politics, and culture across centuries. The author frames Jesus as a figure whose message was transmitted through communities and creeds, while noting where later history tempered or qualified those early teachings.
- How wealth and poverty are treated in Jesus’s message and what that means for modern life
- How the idea of universal brotherhood and God’s fatherhood has shaped politics and society
- Where religious ideals clashed with economic and imperial power across history
- What changes in science, law, and domestic life reveal about the spread of Christendom
Ideal for readers of history, philosophy, and religious studies who want a thoughtful perspective on the roots and reach of Christian civilization.
