Rauschenbusch Society

Decent Essays
The Kingdom of God is not just about the awakening of individuals getting to heaven, but the transforming of life on earth into something that’s much like the harmony up in heaven. Jesus is a society builder, which is why things should be taught through social conduct and the ethics of Jesus Christ. This will then subside in creating a true society. Through this transformation the change is evident in what Rauschenbusch is demonstrating to his readers and audience about Christianity. The religion beliefs of society should be focused on the reconstruction of society itself. Just like Jesus, we are to be the reform fighters and be dedicated to those reforms and revolutionaries.

    Søren Kierkegaard, a 19th century a philosopher, once said, “God…does what is still more wonderful: he makes saints out of sinners.” While Richard J. Mouw, in his book When the Kings Come Marching In, would agree that God redeems sinners he would also argue that God desires to redeem the entire cosmos. God desires to redeem both human souls and the cosmos because both have been infected and distorted by sin. After a careful reading of Mouw’s book, it is possible to piece together a summary of the main points of the book while formulating a response to Mouw’s explanations and his life application. When the Kings Come Marching…

    By 9:00 am the 36th were holding the Schwaben Redoubt and the surrounding front but if the attack was to continue reinforcements would be needed. Thirty minutes before hand, Major General Nugent asked the headquarters of 107th Brigade to advance, currently unaware of the increasing deterioration of the 32th Division’s advance to their left flank. At 9:15 am Nugent received instructions to halt the 107th Brigade’s advance but with communication lines down, it was too late and the 107th Brigade had already gone over the top to support the advance (‘The History of the 36th (Ulster) Division’ by Cyril Falls). The day’s fighting remained intense and heavy casualties continued to mount as the 36th held out tirelessly at the Schwaben Redoubt, fending off three German counter attacks before the day was out.…

    Hirsch's main focus in this article was this idea of a missional-incarnation impulse. He stresses that the church needs both foundations to achieve God's mission. He states on page 128, "The missional-incarnation impulse is, in effect, the practical outworking of the mission of God (the missio Dei) and of the Incarnation... It is thus rooted in the very way that God has redeemed this world, and in how God revealed himself to us". To have a missional-incarnation impulse, you must strive to spread the Gospel to ALL groups of people.…

    He makes the reader very aware of the changes taking place around the world with the Christian faith and its followers in a way that is both encouraging and worrisome. While most are mindful that the Christian faith has followers that are not from the West, and that there are many who believe that the Western Christianity is declining in number of believers, I found myself learning that the faith is growing in the Southern and Eastern parts of the world. I have heard many stories about individual churches or areas where Christianity is growing at staggering rates, however, I have not thought about it as widespread as an entire nation. As a believer, it is extremely encouraging to hear Jenkins state that Christianity is growing throughout Africa, Asia, and Latin…
