Excerpt from Prayers of the Social Awakening The Lord's Prayer is so familiar to us that few have stopped to understand it. The general tragedy of misunderstanding which has followed Jesus throughout the centuries has frustrated the purpose of his model prayer also. He gave it to st0p vain repetitions, and it has been turned into a contrivance for incessant repetition. The churches have employed it for their ecclesiastical ritual. Yet it is not ecclesias tical. There is no hint in it of the Church, the ministry, the doctrines of theology, or the sacraments though the Latin Vulgate has turned the petition for the daily bread into a prayer for the super-substantial bread of the sacrament.

Excerpt from Christianity and the Social CrisisWestern civilization is passing through a social revolution unparalleled in history for scope and power. Its coming was inevitable. The religious, political, and intellectual revolutions of the past five centuries, which together created the modern world, necessarily had to culminate in an economic and social revolution such as is now upon us.By universal consent, this social crisis is the overshadowing problem of our generation. The industrial and commercial life of the advanced nations are in the throes of it. In politics all issues and methods are undergoing upheaval and re-alignment as the social movement advances. In the world of thought all the young and serious minds are absorbed in the solution of the social problems. Even literature and art point like compass-needles to this magnetic pole of all our thought.The social revolution has been slow in reaching our country. We have been exempt, not because we had solved the problems, but because we had not yet confronted them. We have now arrived, and all the characteristic conditions of American Hfe will henceforth combine to make the social struggle here more intense than anywhere else.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

First published in 1916, two years before his death, The Social Principles of Jesus became Rauschenbusch's most widely distributed book. Written as a study guide at a time when the great Christian and social optimism of the early 20th Century was sorely challenged by the devastation of the Great War being waged around the globe. Relevant then, and now, this work teaches that the Christian response to the city should be realizing the Kingdom of God in society by working toward greater compassion, justice, and redemptive love. This edition is being published in celebration of the 15th Anniversary of Rauschenbusch Metro Ministries in New York City.
