Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
In the wake of the success of God's Politics, comes an anniversary
edition of Walter Rauschenbusch's Christianity and the Social
Crisis, a book which outsold every other religious volume for three
years and which has become a classic and mainstay for any Christian
seriously interested in social justice. PBS has named Rauschenbusch
one of the most influential American religious leaders in the last
100 years, and Christianity Today named this book one of the top
books of the century that have shaped contemporary religious
thought. So it seems fitting on the 100th anniversary of the
publication of Christianity and the Social Crisis that
Rauschenbush's great-grandson should bring this classic back into
print, adding a response to each chapter by a well-known
contemporary author such as Jim Wallis, Tony Camplo, Cornel West,
Richard Rorty, Stanley Hauerwas, and others. Between 1886 and 1897,
he was pastor of the Second German Baptist Church in the ?Hell's
Kitchen? area of New York City, an area of extreme poverty. As he
witnessed massive economic insecurity, he began to believe that
Christianity must address the physical as well as the spiritual
needs of humankind. Rauschenbusch saw it as his duty as a minister
and student of Christ to act with love by trying to improve social
conditions.
