The Gospel and Human Needs

The Gospel and Human Needs, penned by John Neville Figgis and originally published in 1911, delves into the intersection of Christian theology and social ethics. Figgis explores the application of Gospel principles to the pressing social issues of his time, offering a profound examination of human needs through a theological lens. This work stands as a significant contribution to the Social Gospel movement, advocating for the active role of the church in addressing poverty, injustice, and inequality.

Figgis’s insightful analysis provides a historical perspective on the evolving relationship between religious faith and social responsibility. His arguments, rooted in a deep understanding of Christian doctrine, encourage readers to consider the ethical implications of their beliefs and to engage actively in the betterment of society. This book remains relevant for those interested in the history of Christian social thought and the ongoing dialogue between faith and action.
