Bock, Paul LEONHARD RAGAZ (1868-1945) was a leading figure in early 20th-century Swiss religious socialism. a movement that paralleled lieled the social gospel movement in America and helped to arouse Protestantism to its social responsibility. Through the journal he edited, Neue Wege, Ragaz regularly interpreted current events in relation to God's action in history as he understood it. Best known because of his association with the Blumhardts. Barth, and Brunner, Ragaz has received little attention in his a right from North American audiences because there has ren no substantial translation of his works into English. Now aul Bock has selected and translated a representative samp- img of Ragaz's work that provides a solid introduction to his thought and the ways in which it developed. Following a biographical sketch of Ragaz, the book presents excerpts from his books, articles, sermons, pamphlets, and addresses. Some of the selections offer insights Into Ragaz's understanding of the theological foundations of social action; others present his views on socialism, violence, and other topics, including many currently debated issues: war and peace, faith and economics, unemployment, and the international political and economic order. A valuable contribution to the study of 20th-century theology. Signs of the Kingdom affords English-speaking readers the opportunity to examine firsthand the writings of an important though critically neglected theologian. 231.720802819869 Perpustakaan STTB Bandung Theological Seminary 231.72 Boc s E08005415 Non Fiction 231.72 Boc s 51-WmAU73PL._SY425_.jpg 39294 2014-11-27 11:54:25 2024-08-30 13:46:06 machine generated
