Social Gospel• 1880s and 90s – clergymen
espousing help for poor• Apply Christ’s teaching to social
problems• Walter Raushenbusch
▫ Christ bore six social sins on the cross “Religious bigotry, the combination of
graft and political power, the corruption of justice, the mob spirit (being "the social group gone mad") and mob action, militarism, and class contempt-- “
"Because the Kingdom of God has been dropped as the primary and comprehensive aim of Christianity, and personal salvation has been substituted for it, therefore men seek to save their own souls and are selfishly indifferent to the evangelization of the world."
▫ Influenced MLK, Bishop Desmond Tutu

Social Darwinism•Herbert Spencer – Natural selection should
be applied to the marketplace▫Wealth in the hands of the “fit” was a benefit
to the human race.▫Help for poor interfered with the laws of
nature and weakens the species
