My initial interest in sociology stemmed from the desire to see
specific social change in certain areas of my native United States
of America. My rather naive assumption at that time was that if the
truth is known about social phenomena and presented to rational and
educated persons, public opinion will bring about the desirable
social change. That is, I assumed some automatic linkage between
truth, rationality and social progress. Certainly some of the
so-called "pioneers" of sociology also assumed this automatic
linkage. Thus, the opportunity to study in Europe, on the soil of
some of these "pioneers" heightened my interest and desire to learn
more about the relationship between sociology and social progress.
After living and studying several years in various parts of Western
Europe - England, Germany, France, Holland - one finds that
European sociology has remained very closely associ ated with
social philosophy and history, has often been resisted by the
universities, and is not as empirical as American sociology. The
European sociologist, still quite conscious of the mistakes of the
early fathers - Comte, Spencer, Marx, among others - is extremely
cautious concerning problems of social progress and social action.
He is aware that his science is still young and sus pect. He is
also less sure than his predecessors about the exact role of
sociology."
This is a new release of the original 1946 edition.
According to many God is unknowable. The Bible teaches that his
ways are higher than our ways and asks the question "who has known
the mind of God?" How are we to have a personal relationship with a
mysterious, intangible God? 1 Corinthians 2:10 NIV but God has
revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things,
even the deep things of God. By his Holy Spirit. We can actually
ask God "why" without fear when tragedy strikes. We can know God's
heart and character and be assured that he is good. This book will
show you that everything God does and has done is out of love, why
you can trust him, and how to know him.
