The Church And The Hour: Reflections Of A Socialist Churchwoman (1917) by Vida Dutton Scudder is a book that explores the relationship between the church and socialism during the early 20th century. Scudder, a prominent socialist and member of the Episcopal Church, offers her reflections on the role of the church in addressing social and economic issues of the time, including poverty, inequality, and labor rights.The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of the history of socialism and its relationship to Christianity, while the second part focuses on specific issues such as the living wage, the rights of workers, and the role of women in society. Scudder argues that the church has a responsibility to address these issues and to work towards social justice, and that socialism offers a viable framework for achieving these goals.Throughout the book, Scudder draws on her own experiences as a socialist and churchwoman, as well as on the writings of prominent thinkers such as Karl Marx, William Morris, and Leo Tolstoy. She also engages with the criticisms of socialism that were prevalent at the time, including accusations of atheism and immorality.Overall, The Church And The Hour provides a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between Christianity and socialism during a pivotal moment in history. It offers insights into the social and political issues of the time, as well as into the ways in which religious and political ideologies intersect and influence one another.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
