Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. In this volume from the Department of Social Economy for the 1900 Paris Exposition, the author unveils religious changes that reflect a shift in Western civilization toward interdependence via advances in science and technology. The author argues that this change is most apparent in the rise of "institutional churches," such as the Salvation Army and the YMCA, which shifted their charitable focus from sin to comprehensive physical, mental, and social wellbeing. The author believes that this change is a critical development in Christianity, shaping a new social ideal where the church is less concerned with individual flaws and more concerned with lifting the whole of society. This book is essential for understanding the evolution of religious practices from a focus on personal salvation to one that encompasses social and economic justice.
