Summary: "Christianity and Progress" by Harry Emerson Fosdick is a theological discourse delivered as lectures in the early 20th century, specifically in the 1920s. This work examines the relationship between the Christian faith and the notion of progress, particularly in the context of the rapidly changing social conditions and ideologies of Fosdick's time. The book addresses critical issues such as the idea of progress, the intersection of science and religion, and the necessity for Christianity to adapt to modern challenges. The opening of the lectures sets a reflective tone, inviting readers to consider the evolution of human thought concerning progress, specifically within the Christian tradition. Fosdick elaborates on how various historical interpretations of life have evolved from static to dynamic, especially after the sixteenth century, marking a significant shift in human understanding. He juxtaposes the early perceptions of fate and divine intervention with the modern scientific outlook, proposing that understanding both change and continuity in human life is essential for comprehending Christianity’s place in an ever-evolving world. The beginning firmly establishes the groundwork for exploring deeper theological reflections in the subsequent lectures while emphasizing that an effective Christian engagement with the idea of progress must consider both external actions and internal transformations.
