Harry Frederick Ward / Richard Henry Edwards
Christianizing Community Life is a book written by Harry Frederick Ward and originally published in 1917. The book explores the concept of social Christianity and how it can be applied to community life. Ward argues that Christianity should not only be a personal belief system, but also a way of life that informs and shapes the way communities function. Ward examines various social issues, such as poverty, labor relations, and race relations, and offers Christian solutions to these problems. He believes that Christians should be actively involved in the social and political spheres of their communities, working to bring about positive change and promote justice and equality. The book also explores the role of the church in community life, arguing that the church should be a center of social and cultural activity, as well as a place of worship. Ward believes that the church has a responsibility to provide education, recreation, and other resources to the community, in addition to spiritual guidance.Overall, Christianizing Community Life is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to consider the role of Christianity in shaping community life. Ward’s ideas are still relevant today, and the book remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in social justice and Christian ethics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
