[Ambivalences of Charity. Social Consequences of the Reformation]
This volume examines – based on the ideas of the Wittenberg Reformation – the correlation between the doctrine of justification and the social commitment of Christians and Churches. Luther assumed that Christians would serve their neighbour spontaneously. Is this plausible? Are Christian people generally more socially-minded?
Historic contributions highlight the development in the reorganisation of social care after 1517 and examine the interrelation with the formation of the modern welfare state.
Theoretical and empirical studies acknowledge the significance of charity and altruism for the present-day work of diaconia. Supplementary comments from diaconic practice show the benefits as well as ambiguities of Christian charity within professional social work.
