Excerpt from The Reconstruction of the Church: With Regard to Its Message and Program
The Church to-day is suffering under the law of diminishing returns. More time and money, more brain and heart are invested in it than ever before, but the investment does not bring as large a return per unit of effort as a generation ago. The same is true of business. Formerly men waited for busi ness; now it must be worked for. Advertising, traveling salesmen, show windows, free delivery, are needed, if one expects large returns. The competi tion which has compelled these Changes in method is felt everywhere because of the multitudinous and exacting demands of modern life. Many and di vergent interests are making their appeal to the man of to-day, and the Church must compete with them all.

Seller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a compelling critique of the state of the Church in the early 20th century, a time when the world was experiencing rapid industrialization and social change. The author argues that the Church has become increasingly irrelevant to the lives of ordinary people, failing to address the pressing social issues of the day and instead clinging to outdated practices and beliefs. The book delves into the need for a "Social Gospel," urging the Church to embrace a more active role in shaping a more just and equitable society. The author explores the ethical implications of industrialization, challenging the notion that business is inherently incompatible with Christian principles. He contends that the Church must actively engage with the world of commerce, providing moral guidance for business leaders and workers alike, and championing the rights of the poor and marginalized. The book's powerful arguments and call for reform make it a vital resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Church's role in society and the challenges it faces in an increasingly complex world.
