Overview

Socialism, the Church and the Poor is divided into two parts: “The Church and Socialism” and “Christ and the Poor.” In the first, Forsyth answers the question, What is the position and duty of the Church in relation to morals and economics? In the second, he argues that Jesus has been appropriated and exploited for political purposes. “It is not possible with due knowledge of the New Testament to hold that Jesus was above all things a social reformer.”
