Autorenporträt
Walter Rauschenbusch (1861–1918) was a distinguished theologian and a key figure in the Social Gospel movement, which sought to apply Christian ethics to social problems during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. An American Baptist pastor and a professor at Rochester Theological Seminary, Rauschenbusch's deep concern for social issues was heavily influenced by his ministry in New York City's Hell's Kitchen, where he witnessed dire poverty and the plight of the working class. His seminal work, 'The Social Principles of Jesus', seeks to demonstrate how the teachings of Jesus could be applied to the social and economic problems of his time. Rauschenbusch argued that Christianity's primary mission was to transform the social order into a more just, equitable, and compassionate world. He rallied against what he viewed as the individualistic and other-worldly focus of mainstream Christianity, instead emphasizing the kingdom of God as a collective, earthly reality rooted in social justice and ethical living. His literary contributions are marked by a blending of deep religious conviction with a progressive socio-political vision, reshaping the way many thought about religion's role in public life. Rauschenbusch's work became a foundational influence on future generations of theologians and social reformers who continued to explore the intersections of faith and social advocacy.
