Religion and Social Problems


Book Description

Although students and scholars of social problems have often acknowledged the role of religion, no thorough examinations of the relation between the two have emerged. This book fills this gap by providing a definitive work on the impact of religion on social problems, religion as a solution to social problems, and religion as a social problem in itself.

Global Psycho-Social Issues and the Qur'anic Analysis with Solutions


Book Description

In this life, man never considers why he has been given life, universal facilities, health, wealth, family, sources, and power, with no control of death, losses, pains, mental sufferings, etc. Under the scientific and technology boom, human life pattern is changing to such an extent that social, marital and family bonds have degraded and money has become the life goal. The sensitive bonds such as purity in love, sincerity, marriage, and innocent children seem to be at the mercy of circumstances without meeting the psychosocial spiritual needs. So, insecurity, depression, anxiety, and various psycho-social ailments have become a part of this modern capitalist society. The moral-ethical discipline of pure Divinity seems to be sole solution to apply moderate life with logic, objective application of the rules of nature, and the revealed objective knowledge of the Creator (knows better than His creature's wisdom) to meet the present global issues.

A Shopkeeper's Millennium


Book Description

A quarter-century after its first publication, A Shopkeeper's Millennium remains a landmark work--brilliant both as a new interpretation of the intimate connections among politics, economy, and religion during the Second Great Awakening, and as a surprising portrait of a rapidly growing frontier city. The religious revival that transformed America in the 1820s, making it the most militantly Protestant nation on earth and spawning reform movements dedicated to temperance and to the abolition of slavery, had an especially powerful effect in Rochester, New York. Paul E. Johnson explores the reasons for the revival's spectacular success there, suggesting important links between its moral accounting and the city's new industrial world. In a new preface, he reassesses his evidence and his conclusions in this major work.
