Abstract
DID Jesus speak to our Society ? Can we today find anything in the teachings of Jesus to give us a clear Christian direction in attempting to handle our pressing social problems? As biblical instructors, can we point to any certain thus saith the Lord in social affairs, or must we remind our students that the most to be hoped for in Jesus' teaching is some guidance to their personal lives? In other words, did Jesus have any social teaching? The very raising of such questions may appear to be outmoded. All those who have lived in America in the last half century have been brought up on the so-called social gospel. Francis Greenwood Peabody, Walter Rauschenbusch, Shailer Mathews and the English Robert F. Horton answered these questions in a thorough and scholarly fashion a generation ago. The great Columbus preacher, Washington Gladden, aroused the church to its social obligations before many of us were born.
