The Social Conscience of the Evangelical
(Sherwood Eliot Wirt challenges Christians to confront the...)
Sherwood Eliot Wirt challenges Christians to confront the injustices of our times with Biblical faith and strong action. "Jesus Christ," he says, "would have agreed with Karl Marx that the beginning of all criticism is the criticism of religion." Taking a long look at Christianity as it is actually practiced in America today, the author brings into the open a full and frank discussion of the evangelical Christian's emerging concern for the world in which he lives. He explores such important subjects as Peace, Thermonuclear energy, Race, Birth control, Capital punishment, and Labor-management relations.
