Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Advancing Church: Studies in Christianizing America' offers a comprehensive look at the missionary spirit and expansionist efforts of the Christian church in the United States during a period of significant social change in the early 20th century. Edward Laird Mills provides a series of insightful studies that examine the methods and motivations behind the drive to permeate American life with Christian principles. The work explores various frontiers-both geographic and social-highlighting the challenges and successes of religious outreach in urban centers, rural communities, and among diverse immigrant populations.By analyzing the intersection of faith and national identity, Mills reflects on the church's responsibility to address contemporary social problems and its role in the moral development of the country. This volume serves as an important historical document for those interested in the history of American religion, the social gospel movement, and the evolution of Methodist missions. Through its focus on the 'advancing' nature of the faith, the book provides a vivid portrait of a church striving to meet the spiritual needs of a rapidly modernizing nation, making it an essential resource for students of religious history and missiology.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
