Spelled out in a lengthy lead editorial entitled «Evangelicals in the Social Struggle,» as well as in books such as Aspects
of Christian Social Ethics, Henry's understanding
of Christian social responsibility stressed (a) society's need for the spiritual regeneration
of all men and
women, (b) an interim social program
of humanitarian care, ethical proclamation, and personal, structural application, and (c) a theory
of limited government centering on certain «freedom rights,» e. g., the rights to public property, free speech, and so on.18 Though the shape
of this social ethic thus closely parallels that
of the present editorial position
of Moody Monthly, it must be distinguished from its counterpart by the
time period involved (it pushed others like Moody Monthly into a more active involvement in the social arena), by the intensity
of its commitment to social responsibility, by the sophistication
of its insight into political theory and practice, and by its willingness to offer structural critique on the American political system.

time when it was true, before

women of our
time to consider the proposal that truth is to be found in the person
of Jesus Christ.

times by those supporting the imperium) for an orthodoxy which would confess the God revealed in Christ as a community

Back in 2008 I wrote a post called «A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Polls» to address how surprised I was at the way Conservative Evangelical

Soon we'll learn to transform our mind to the mind
of Christ so that sinners flood our feet with tears (Luke 7:36 - 38); so that tax - collecting robbers want to spend
time with us (Luke 19:1 - 10); so that we don't treat a Samaritan

Problem definition is
time - consuming, a deep journey into our own prejudices and hopes for a
Christian faith that actually makes a difference, a horrible awakening that giants
