<br/><br/> This study examines some key approaches to ecumenical social ethics in the past century, as expressed in the thought of Walter Rauschenbusch, Reinhold Niebuhr and the World Council of Churches. The author argues that unless Christians are clear about the ways that theology and philosophy relate to one another and work themselves out in our practical commitments we will lose the ability to discuss social ethics as individuals and churches, let alone reach effective agreements. The retrieval and modification of a study-dialogue method is seen as essential if churches are to continue to do social ethics together in a way that meets the postmodern challenge, while remaining faithful to a biblical and historical confession.
