		The Social Gospel rejected the conservative individualistic social ethic, instead developing a distinctively optimistic rationale as a result of "the theological liberalism that emerged out of attempts to reconcile the Christian faith with evolutionary thought, historical-critical analysis of the Bible, philosophical idealism, and the study of other world religions."
		The Social Gospel may be the most crucial of all problems besetting Christian churches at this time, for when a Christian's ethical certitudes are revealed to be defective, as it always turns out to be in the Social Gospel, then he ends up abandoning confidence in valid, Biblical faith.

	The Impact Of The "Social Gospel" On The Church
		Whatever impact it was to have in correcting social evils was to be accomplished as a by-product of this transforming of individuals.
		This was sufficient for all that the gospel was intended to accomplish in remolding individual character.
		Our strong feelings about abortion, communism, pornography, sale of alcohol, and other social evils can easily tempt us to involve the church in a social gospel type of attack, rather than being content to deal with them on an individual basis as the church was designed to do.

		HAUERWAS: Robin points out that the social gospelers were concerned about defending the meaning and truth of religious claims in the face of the natural sciences, especially the work of Darwin, and in the face of the mechanistic presuppositions of social science.

		The larger problem here--and this is a problem with the social gospel as well as with some kinds of liberation theology--is the notion that you can leave theological claims behind in the interest of getting on with the work of social justice.

	Dispensational Truth And The Social Gospel, by Alan Burns (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		This hope of our "social evangelists" is "sunlight," it rests on man, depends on man, and is to be effected by man. The "limelight" is the false hope which rests on God, depends on God, and is to be effected by God.
		Social justice, too, seems to rank higher than the truest worship: "His ideal city was no longer a city of justice so much as a city of true worship." This appears to be classified and labeled as "Religious Decadence!" Ezekiel seems to have exaggerated the importance of God, and unduly exalted His claims.
		The "Social Gospel," of course, has no Galatians in its literature, for it does not wish it to be known that it is really "Social Law" masquerading under a Gospel name.

	Social Gospel
		They decry that the mainline denominations are infiltrated with this evil liberality and the social gospel gained ascendancy as the good news was subordinated to good deeds.
		Movements for social justice and efforts to aid the disenfranchised, the weak, and the poor have owed much to the work of Christians motivated by Biblical exhortation and example: the prophet's cry for justice and Jesus' relationship to the poor and outcast.
		The gospel is a social message, solemn and overpowering in its force; it is the proclamation of solidarity and brotherliness, in favor of the poor.
