Description
Evangelicals and Social Action: A Historical Perspective Ian J. Shaw explores how the evangelical church has engaged with social issues over three centuries, from John Wesley to John Stott. This book examines key issues of social concern, including poverty, racial equality, addiction, and learning disability, tracing the responses of evangelicals around the world between the 1730s and the 1970s. Shaw draws on a wide range of contexts to illuminate how evangelical Christianity has viewed and been involved in ministries of social action. By examining this history, Shaw assesses the implications for evangelicals today and provides valuable insights into Christian social action from an evangelical perspective.
