The Social Principles of Jesus Walter Rauschenbusch Special edition

First published in 1916, two years before his death, The Social Principles of Jesus became Rauschenbusch's most widely distributed book. Written as a study guide at a time when the great Christian and social optimism of the early 20th Century was sorely challenged by the devastation of the Great War being waged around the globe.  Relevant then, and now, this work teaches that the Christian response to the city should be realizing the Kingdom of God in society by working toward greater compassion, justice, and redemptive love.  This edition is being published in celebration of the 15th Anniversary of Rauschenbusch Metro Ministries in New York City.
