Excerpt from Theology and the Social Consciousness: A Study of the Relations of the Social Consciousness to Theology

Two questions are naturally involved in this theme. First: Has theology given any help, or has it any help to give, to the social consciousness? - the question of the first division of the book. Second: Has the social consciousness made any contribution, or has it any contribution to make, to theol ogy? - the question of the second and third divisions. That is to say: On the one hand, Have the great facts which theology studies any help to give to the man who faces the problem of social progress - of the steady elevation of the race? On the other hand, Has the great fact of the immensely quick ened social consciousness of our time, with all that it means, any help to give to the theologian in his attempt to bring the great Christian truths really home to men, to make them more real, more rational, more vital?
