The Social Gospel

This course is an exploration of the distinctive themes and applications of the Social Gospel movement, its theology, and its place in Canadian Church and society. The movement’s relationship to liberation theology and other disciplines (economics and sociology), and the contemporary renewal of the Social Gospel will be of special interest.
