(Basic social factors-the family, race relations, economic...)
Basic social factors-the family, race relations, economic and political life, communism and war-are approached by Professor Maston with a definite Christian orientation. Persistently and continuously certain questions are asked of the church and by the church. What should be the relation of the church to the world: What contribution can and should organized Christianity make to the solution of the problems of the world: This author goes far in answering these questions for ministers and Christian laymen, in the deepening crisis that is gripping the world. Scholarly answers combine history, theology and sociology, with useful recommendations. Remarkable power of survival and renewal is seen in the Christian Church as it is pressed vigorously by challenges of insidious secularism, grasping materialism, narrow nationalism, and atheistic communism. Dr. Maston believes the Church "must challenge the world to make the Christian religion the total, with every other phase of life made subservient to that total. All of life must be unified around supreme devotion to God and to his purposes in the world." This view is underscored in the author's general perspective of the Church's message to man and to the world. With a diversity of subject it is a unified picture of the church's relatedness to and dependence upon fundamental moral and spiritual values as it can "Progressively lift the world toward the Christian ideal for the world."
