| Summary |
"The Social Principles of Jesus" by Walter Rauschenbusch is a study text written in the early 20th century. The book explores the social and ethical convictions of Jesus Christ, emphasizing their relevance in addressing contemporary societal issues. It aims to clarify Jesus' teachings for a modern audience, particularly within voluntary study groups in colleges and seminaries. The opening of the text outlines its purpose and structure, making clear that it is neither a biography of Jesus nor a doctrinal statement, but rather an exploration of His social principles. Rauschenbusch introduces the fundamental convictions of Jesus concerning the value of life, the interconnectedness of humanity, and the moral implications of those beliefs in relation to the pressing social challenges of the time. He sets the tone for a reflective study, encouraging readers to engage deeply with the core messages of Jesus and their ethical applications in modern society.
