What Is Christian Socialism

Christian Socialism is not a mere vague utopia. Much so-called socialism is vague, negative, and denunciatory. This is not the case with Christian Socialism. It sees gigantic evils in the present conditions of society, but it believes that the best way, and the scientific way, to overcome those evils is not by denunciation and destruction, but by gradual reform and construction.
