Social Gospel

The Social Gospel is a movement that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily within American Christianity. It emphasized the importance of applying Christian ethics to social problems, such as poverty, labor rights, and racial inequality. Advocates believed that faith should motivate individuals and communities to address social injustices and improve conditions for the marginalized. The movement sought to bring about societal reform, aligning spiritual beliefs with social action, ultimately aiming to create a more just and compassionate society in accordance with the teachings of Jesus.
