The world calling : the church's witness in politics and society
"In the World Calling, Thomas Ogletree elaborates forms of critical inquiry that are necessary for rendering Christian social teaching effective amid the social and institutional complexities of the modern world, and he uses Troeltsch's Social Teaching as the primary guide - especially his call for research that combines "historical thinking" and "social analysis." Authentic bodies of Christian social teaching, Ogletree argues, must be firmly grounded in formative church traditions. Yet, he contends, they must also address concrete social realities: a diverse social and cultural environment, a market economy with an expanding global reach, a constitutional democracy that protects basic human liberties, and the challenges of maintaining a stable international order."--Jacket
