The idea of Christian Socialism is something which is fundamental to Christianity; it is simply the understanding that spiritual ideas have to be expressed in material form and th~ at the primary material expression of the spiritual virtue of love is sharing. We are members one of another and sharing has to take place in society and when this is done it is called socialism. Socialism is ·the common ownership of the means of production, distribution and exchange, although in a true socialist society sharing, of course go.es further and includes the sharing in government and administration which leads to true forms of democracy and an effective voice of all members of the community in whatever enterprise engages their daily work. Christian Socialism is the grasp of the fact that Christ­ ians ought to be socialists and that there must be Christian inspiration and motivation of a socialist society; it is not a separate Christian form of socialism, still less is it a retreat from the idea of socialism masquerading under the name of Christianity. Christian Socialism although both the term and the move­ ment is modern, is as old as the Church itself. It has its roots in the Bible and in the doctrine and practice of the historic Christian Cht1rch. BOOKS. B. C. Plo,vright. Rebel Religion. London. 1936 0. C. Quick.

While the law outlined in the books of the Pentateuch contains a ceremonial law (see Exodus 37 e.g.) and has much to say of candles of beaten gold (even to· the knops) it is much more than this and it contains a vast mass of social legislation ordering the whole life of society, of which the ceremonial law is only a part. A) . THE MOSAIC LAW . .The essential content of the mosaic law is this : 1. The L.and belongs to God (i.e. it· is not private property). Gen. 11 'In the beginning God created the h'eaven and the earth'. Psalm 955 'The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof'. Deut. 1014 'Unto the Lord thy· G~ belongeth the heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth and all that therein is'. 2. Psalm 9516 'The earth hath he given to the children of men'. It is divided by tribes (Numbers 2652, 5353, Joshua .13) and families on an equalitarian basis. Lev. 25 23 'The land shaU not be sold for ever, for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with. me.' 3. · Eccl. 59 'The profit of the e.arth is for all'. Thus the Old Testament sets out a fundamental law for a free society based on equality. It then sets up a series of checks on human failing and depravity. 1. The law of the landmark. Deut. 1914, Hosea 510, Proverbs 2228, 2310• 'T.hou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark'. 2. Usury Laws. Deut. 2319, Ex. 2225, Lev. 2536, Nehemiah 52, Ezekiel 188, 5 1317, 2212• 'Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy .~rother, usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of anything that is lent upon usury; unto a foreigner thou mayest lend upon usury ' .... 3. Year of R·elease. Deut. 15, Lev. 25. The ending, b·etween Israelites, every seven years of debt and . slavery; the poor to be fed; some release from prison; a year of fallow. 4. The Year of Jubilee. Lev. 25. Every 49 years liberty to all; a redistribution of land; the end of debt; the emptying of prisons; a fresh start for everybody. On redistribution there was compen­ sation for improvements. 5. Other Laws: (a) Six days shalt thou labour, with one day rest. There were. other holidays including the passover, ·the feast of weeks and the feast of booths. (b) Food. See Gen. 94, Lev. 717• 1926, 11 1-47, 1710-16, 196-26, 22s, Deut. 1216, 143-21 • . (c) Cleanliness of .person, clothing and house. Lev.· 1449·52, Numbers 19 1~, 1 3, 192o, Exodus 3 . 1~- 26, 4012-30-32, Lev. 411,12,21, 611, Deut 2312-14• . (d) Military Service. 'From 20· years old ·and upward', but not at the beginning of a marriage. Deut. 24, Numbers 1, 2, 347-53, . 354, . 85• (e) Justice.· Deut. 2513· 16• ProPer weights and measures. Lev. 1915. Equality between rich and poor. (f) . Bond-slavery grudgingly allowed (but not landlord­ ism); Exodus 2L Not to be sold to .foreigners. (g) Laws of punishment for murder, .theft of persons etc. Exodus 21. 6 (h) Cities of Refuge; Deut. 21. (i) Laws of Inheritance. B) THE PROPHETS The prophets sprang from Mos'es and the Law and were for ever harking back to it and resisting attempts to thwart its intentions and subvert its moral and social outlook. 'T.he morality which the prophets had in mind in their strenuous insistence on righteousn·ess, was not .merely the • private morality of the home, but the public morality on which national life is founded. They said less about the pure heart for the i~dividual than of just institutions for the nation. We are accustom'ed to connect piety with the thought of private virtues; the pious man is ~he quiet, temperate, sober, kindly man. The evils against which we contend in the church are intemperance, unchastity, the sins of the tongue. The twin evils against which the prophets launched the condemnation of Jehovah were injustice and oppre\sion.' (Rauschenbusch. Christ and Social Order. p.8). · . In the main the proph·ets denounced departure from the ways of God (a) by the sins of the people as a whole and (b) by false foreign politics. 'In the early days Yahweh had been the guardian of the simple ethic of the wandering tribe, the prophets insisted that he would retain his functions and apply to the far more complicated life of the settled agriculture community those moral and social principles which, on the more elementary plan.e, had commended themselves alike to the religious instinct and to the conscience of men.' (Oesterley & Robinson. Hebrew Religion: Its Origin and Develo·pment. pp. 194-5). The prophets were the 'beating heart' of the Old Testament. The lowest common multiple of their message would be some­ thing like this : 1. Religiofl is ethical before it -is ceremonial. 7 2. Th·e Nation is an entity and we are concerned \Vith its morality as such. 'Though your sins be as scarlet' has a corporate reference. 3. Their special task was to champion the poor. Se'e e.g. Isiah 58, Micah 22, Amos 26, Jeremiah 221• 4. The hope of national perfection. 5. The hope of universal perfection. 6. Social realism based on the idea that while people forsook the ways of God it was not possible for things to go rightly. So Amos and Hosea proclaimed the doom of tl1e N orthem Kingdom and Jeremiah proclaimed the doom of the Southern Kingdom. It is all summed up in the last words of the last book of the Old Testament, the prophet Malachi: 'Rremember ye the Law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all lsra·el, even statutes and judgements. Behold, I will send you Elijah the pro·phet before the great and terrible day of the Lord come. And he sh.all tum the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers lest I come and smite the earth with a curse'. C) THE APOCALYPTISTS Between the Old and the New Testament but starting at the end of the Old Testament itself, lie the writers we call the 'Apocalyptists' the people whose meaning is hidd'en and vague partly because they were groping in an explosive situation and partly because they were revolutionaries. Ess·entially they proclaimed : 1. The Day of the Lord, wherein a nationalist God would overthrow the enemies of Israel. 2. The Day of the Lord (post-Amos) in which would be 8 money lent, was absolutely forbidden to Christians as money existed only for exchange and was not fecund.

  • This Chapter Will Demonstrate How Anglo-Catholicism Sought to Deploy
    Building community: Anglo-Catholicism and social action Jeremy Morris Some years ago the Guardian reporter Stuart Jeffries spent a day with a Salvation Army couple on the Meadows estate in Nottingham. When he asked them why they had gone there, he got what to him was obviously a baffling reply: “It's called incarnational living. It's from John chapter 1. You know that bit about 'Jesus came among us.' It's all about living in the community rather than descending on it to preach.”1 It is telling that the phrase ‘incarnational living’ had to be explained, but there is all the same something a little disconcerting in hearing from the mouth of a Salvation Army officer an argument that you would normally expect to hear from the Catholic wing of Anglicanism. William Booth would surely have been a little disconcerted by that rider ‘rather than descending on it to preach’, because the early history and missiology of the Salvation Army, in its marching into working class areas and its street preaching, was precisely about cultural invasion, expressed in language of challenge, purification, conversion, and ‘saving souls’, and not characteristically in the language of incarnationalism. Yet it goes to show that the Army has not been immune to the broader history of Christian theology in this country, and that it too has been influenced by that current of ideas which first emerged clearly in the middle of the nineteenth century, and which has come to be called the Anglican tradition of social witness. My aim in this essay is to say something of the origins of this movement, and of its continuing relevance today, by offering a historical re-description of its origins, 1 attending particularly to some of its earliest and most influential advocates, including the theologians F.D.

  • John Malcolm Ludlow the Christian Socialist
    JOHN MALCOLM LUDLOW AND THE CHRISTIAN SOCIALIST MOVEMENT, 1848-1852 by Ellen King Neff Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the History Program Diite YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY March, 1973 ii AB3T?i.Ac·r JOHN ttA.LCOLM LUDLOW AND THE CHRISTIAN SOCIALIST MOVEMENT, 1848-1852 Ellen King Neff Master of Arts Youngstown State University, 1973 The thesis contains a11 investigation of t he roll played by John Malcolm Ludlow in the formation of the Crxistian Socialist movement in England between 1848 and 1852. Ludlow, with Frederick Denison Maurice and Charles Kingsley, both Anglican clergymen, was appalled at t he con­ dition of the 1\orking classes in England at mid-century, but opposed to the political remedies proposed by the Chartists. By 1850, after much searching, the three men, with a small group of followers, decided upon a practical method of extending Christianity to Socialism. They estab­ lished producers' associations made up of working men who were willing to try an alternative to capitalism that would be a reconciling rather than a destructive force in English society. An over,riew of the entire thesis is contained in the first chapter. The movement evolved from the turmoil suffered by England as a result of the Industrial Revolution. A great reform era began in the 1820's as E.ngland was recovering from the wars of the French Revolution. The second chapter of the paper is an explanation of events that led to the condition of England in 1848. YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY 288869 LIBRARY iii In 1848, Ludlow and his friends published their first newspaper.

It is often assumed that the relationship between religious organisations and Marxism has often been acrimonious, the latter famously rejecting religion as the ‘opium of the people’, and religion resisting the revolutionary nature of Marxism. Taking a biographical approach, examining four Church of England clergymen, Robert Cummings, Conrad Noel, Hewlett Johnson and Alan Ecclestone, this thesis shows that some Anglicans saw a philosophical connection between Christianity and Marxism.
