Examines how believers dealt with the world transforming epoch known as the Industrial Revolution. Much like the technological revolution of the early twenty-first century, the Industrial Revolution changed the way people understood their lives, dramatically altered social relationships, and compelled churches to minister in new ways. This issue explains how Christians responded to the new world with innovative ideas for serving others and engaging important political and economic issues. • “Wealth, Socialism, and Jesus” by Jeffrey B.
