The Quality of Mercy: Southern Baptists and Social Christianity, 1890-1920 Paperback - 1996
by Keith Harper
From the rear cover
The Quality of Mercy challenges the stereotypical suggestion that Southern Baptists lacked social concern demonstrating that they addressed contemporary social problems from within a distinctly southern cultural context - emphasizing family and the church but valuing community as well. Harper shows that missions were the key to enlisting support for such expanded social ministries. Baptist leaders synthesized evangelical concern with social compassion, and they convinced church members not only that the Bible sanctioned social ministries but also that such endeavors were worthy of support. The effect was twofold: Baptists built institutions to give relief to those in need, and they also used these institutions to propagate the Gospel and teach Baptist doctrine.
