God As A Comrade And Social Salvation (1910)

by John Haynes Holmes

Book Overview

God as a Comrade and Social Salvation is a book written by John Haynes Holmes in 1910. The book explores the concept of God as a companion and friend to humanity, rather than a distant and judgmental deity. Holmes argues that this view of God can lead to social salvation, as it encourages people to work together for the betterment of society.The book is divided into three sections. The first section discusses the traditional view of God and how it has been used to justify inequality and oppression. The second section presents Holmes' alternative view of God as a comrade and friend, drawing on both religious and secular sources. The third section explores the practical implications of this view, discussing how it can be applied to various social and political issues.Throughout the book, Holmes emphasizes the importance of social justice and the need for individuals to work together to create a more equitable and compassionate society. He argues that this can only be achieved by embracing a new understanding of God and rejecting the old, authoritarian view.Overall, God as a Comrade and Social Salvation is a thought-provoking and inspiring book that challenges readers to reexamine their beliefs about God and their role in creating a better world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
