Abstract

This thesis is an investigation into the development of the Social Gospel from 1865 to 1918. It is the premise of this study that the Social Gospel was built upon the foundation of liberal theology and that doctrine played a more important part in its development than social problems. A comparison between the Social Gospel and evangelicalism points out their doctrinal differences. An examination of the social welfare programs of both the Social Gospel and evangelicalism indicates their differing approach to charity. The conclusion is that evangelicals could not cooperate with the Social Gospel because of doctrinal differences.
