A Theology for the Social Glaspel

Walter Rauschenbusch, a prominent Baptist minister and theologian, played a significant role in the American social gospel movement. Rejecting traditional fire and brimstone preaching, he emphasized living a Christ-like life as the path to societal transformation. He viewed Christ's sacrifice as a call to replace selfishness with love, advocating for Christianity as a means to create harmony on earth rather than merely a ticket to heaven. His writings focus on the practical application of faith to improve human society.
