Working for the Public Good

Lutheran Ethics and Modern Social Democracy

Beschreibung

Despite critiques of quietism, European Lutherans fostered social ethics that produced systemic, structural changes in social services, law, education, health care, states and nations, and public morality and eventually led to the welfare state. Grounded in faith active in love for the neighbor, Lutherans transformed northern Europe.
