In Christ and Society, Gore challenges the lack of Christian values among his fellow men. He argues that “the present condition of our society, our industry and our international relations, though it presents encouraging features, yet, on the whole, must inspire in our minds a deep sense of dissatisfaction and alarm, and a demand for so thorough a reformation as to amount to a revolution.” Gore encourages his fellow Christians to take the teachings of Christ and apply them to the world around them. He argued that to follow Christ is to fight for justice and peace and to stand for the freedom of all human beings.
