Book Synopsis Keir Hardie, the Bible, and Christian Socialism by : Daniel L. Smith-Christopher
Download or read book Keir Hardie, the Bible, and Christian Socialism written by Daniel L. Smith-Christopher and published by T&T Clark. This book was released on 2024-07-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daniel L. Smith-Christopher focuses on the life and efforts of Keir Hardie, one of the founders of the UK Labour Party and one of the foremost figureheads of trade unionism. Drawing upon the work of two contemporary and significant American theorists - Herbert Guttman's classic essay on “Working Class Religion” and Michael Gold's call for “Proletarian Literature” - Smith-Christopher marries British and American historical and theoretical debates to argue that Hardie's work is surely the quintessential example of a “proletarian exegesis” of the Bible. Beginning with a summary of the major events in Hardie's life, Smith-Christopher draws both upon existing biographies and more recent historical discussions that question assumption of British social history. He then reviews previous debates upon the influence of Hardie's own Christian faith upon his journalist output, and assesses three Christian Socialists whose work was advertised and reviewed by Hardie himself: Dennis Hird, Morrison Davidson, and Carolyn Martyn. Smith-Christopher proceeds to Hardie's copious writings, both for the The Labour Leader and separately published lectures, pamphlets, and somewhat longer works of autobiography and comment. Highlighting Hardie's tendency to cite favorite texts (heavily from the Gospels and James, but also some notable Old Testament discussions), Smith-Christopher proves Hardie's serious discussion of these texts beyond mere political rhetoric; concluding by comparing a selection of Hardie's favorite Biblical arguments with contemporary research in Biblical Studies about these same passages, evaluating the problems and possibilities of proposing a “Proletarian Exegesis”.
Book Synopsis Keir Hardie’s Creed by : Neil Johnson
Download or read book Keir Hardie’s Creed written by Neil Johnson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-10-27 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For James Keir Hardie, founding father of the British Labour Party, Socialism was the Christianity of his day. Keir Hardie realized that the abject poverty of his early years was economic, social, and political oppression, so he dedicated his life to fighting for justice. He found inspiration in the visions, insights, and concepts of figures from Jesus of Nazareth to Robert Burns and Karl Marx. At the heart of Keir Hardie's creed was the belief that human solidarity is sacred. What underpins this study is the understanding that labour history is religious history.

Book Synopsis Christian Socialism as Political Ideology by : Anthony A.J. Williams
Download or read book Christian Socialism as Political Ideology written by Anthony A.J. Williams and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-12 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Anthony Williams investigates the history of Christian Socialist thought in Britain from the late nineteenth to mid-twentieth century. Through analysis of the writings of ten key Christian Socialists from the period, Williams reframes the ideology of Christian Socialism as a coherent and influential body of political thought - moving the study of Christian Socialism away from historical narratives and towards political ideology. The book sheds new light on a key period in British political development, in particular Williams demonstrates how the growth of the Christian Socialist movement exercised a profound impact on the formation of the British Labour party, which would go on to radically change 20th century politics in Britain.

Book Synopsis Sanctifying Theology by : Jacob Lett
Download or read book Sanctifying Theology written by Jacob Lett and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-10-30 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sanctification is not merely a “practical” and isolated doctrine but should permeate the whole horizon of theology: dogmatics, ethics, practics, as well as the sciences and the arts. The essays are collected under the twin convictions that theology can be sanctified and sanctifying. The whole of theology is inflected by holiness, and so theology should aim to share in God’s sanctifying work. Sanctifying Theology contributes new possibilities in Wesleyan-holiness theology and explores their contribution to various Christian doctrines and contemporary issues. Written in honor of the work of Thomas Arthur Noble, the essays in this book are attentive to the streams of theology that have most influenced him: the fathers, the Wesleys, and the Torrances. Both constructive and exploratory, the topic of the essays cover, among other things, (1) consideration of how Wesleyan-holiness theologies contribute to ecumenical theological discussions, (2) readings of Wesleyan-holiness theology through the lens of the church fathers and the Torrances, and (3) explorations of how these conversations and sources might shape contemporary practical and ethical concerns. The essays work both for the Wesleyan tradition and from the Wesleyan tradition for the church catholic, showing how recent trajectories in Wesleyan-holiness theology might contribute to broader discussions.

Book Synopsis Social Democracy in the Making by : Gary Dorrien
Download or read book Social Democracy in the Making written by Gary Dorrien and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expansive and ambitious intellectual history of democratic socialism from one of the world’s leading intellectual historians and social ethicists The fallout from twenty years of neoliberal economic globalism has sparked a surge of interest in the old idea of democratic socialism—a democracy in which the people control the economy and government, no group dominates any other, and every citizen is free, equal, and included. With a focus on the intertwined legacies of Christian socialism and Social Democratic politics in Britain and Germany, this book traces the story of democratic socialism from its birth in the nineteenth century through the mid-1960s. Examining the tenets on which the movement was founded and how it adapted to different cultural, religious, and economic contexts from its beginnings through the social and political traumas of the twentieth century, Gary Dorrien reminds us that Christian socialism paved the way for all liberation theologies that make the struggles of oppressed peoples the subject of redemption. He argues for a decentralized economic democracy and anti-imperial internationalism.
Book Synopsis Christian Socialism by : John C. Cort

Book excerpt: Once again in America the banner of socialism has been raised-for some, an aspirational agenda, while for others a terrifying specter. What does "socialism" actually mean, and what is its relation to Christian social principles? In this expansive work, first published in 1988, John C. Cort explores these questions to provide readers with an historical as well as sociological understanding. Now reissued with a new introduction by Gary Dorrien, Christian Socialism traces the socialist idea to its biblical roots up through the twentieth century, with fascinating profiles of the ideas, events, and personalities that have shaped and continue to shape the Christian socialist movement.
