In the early 1880s, proponents of what came to be called the social
gospel founded what is now known as social ethics. This ambitious

social-ethical mission to transform the structures of society in
the direction of social justice. * Charts the story of social
ethics - the idea that Christianity has a social-ethical mission to
transform society - from its roots in the nineteenth century
through to the present day * Discusses and analyzes how different
traditions of social ethics evolved in the realms of the academy,
church, and general public * Looks at the wide variety of
individuals who have been prominent exponents of social ethics from
academics and self-styled public intellectuals through to pastors
and activists * Set to become the definitive reference guide to the
history and development of social ethics * Recipient of a CHOICE
