A More Christian Industrial Order (1920)

By Henry Sloane Coffin

Book Overview

""A More Christian Industrial Order"" is a book written by Henry Sloane Coffin and first published in 1920. It is a collection of essays and speeches that Coffin delivered during his tenure as the President of the Union Theological Seminary in New York City. The book explores the intersection of Christianity and industrialization, and Coffin argues that the two can coexist in a way that benefits both society and the individual. He advocates for a more ethical approach to business and industry, one that prioritizes the welfare of workers and the environment over profit. Coffin also critiques the prevailing capitalist system, arguing that it perpetuates inequality and encourages greed. Instead, he proposes a more communal approach to economics, one that emphasizes cooperation and mutual aid. Throughout the book, Coffin draws on his deep knowledge of theology and philosophy to make his case for a more Christian industrial order. He also provides historical context and examples from his own experiences to illustrate his points. Overall, ""A More Christian Industrial Order"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that remains relevant today, as debates about the role of religion in society and the ethics of business continue to rage.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
