Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Down-Town Church: A Study of a Social Institution in Transition The church, in common with most other social institutions, has recently been receiving much consideration from the viewpoint of social efficiency. There have been those on the one side, whose belief in the church as an institution of supernatural origin, whose devotion to it as the custodian of divine truth and ordinances, and whose admiration for its ideals and achievements, have blinded them to its actual condition. This attitude, while perfectly sincere, is manifestly unscientific. The true friend of the church is not he who doggedly affirms that it can have no faults, but he who recognizes that, whatever its origin and purpose, it is dependent upon human judgment for its policies and human personality for its progress, and is therefore liable to defect, and capable of improvement. On the other hand, there are those who freely criticize the church as an effete organization. They point to its feebleness and failure among certain classes, its seeming impotency in staying social decay, and its conservatism of thought and method, as indications of its passing power. They predict confidently that it is doomed to early extinction, and they infer that social progress would not be affected thereby. This attitude is also unscientific. Prof. Ward points out "that the proper and scientific attitude toward an institution that is regarded as bad is not wholesale condemnation and denunciation as something that is essentially bad and must have always been bad, but investigation to ascertain what stage of its history it is in, and whether it is in process of transformation, throwing off its outgrown elements and replacing them with elements adapted to existing conditions, and therefore useful.

Book Description
Although students and scholars of social problems have often acknowledged the role of religion, no thorough examinations of the relation between the two have emerged. This volume fills this gap by providing a definitive work on the role of religion in assessing, constructing, and solving social problems. Contributors chart the relation between religion and social problems, exploring such case studies as the impact of religion on drugs and alcohol use among Muslims, the rising importance that religion is given in social policy, the role of the Orthodox and Catholic churches in tackling social problems in post-communist East Europe, and the contested role of religion in the national and international politics of contemporary Japan. Religion and Social Problems is a broad and path-breaking contribution to the fields of sociology of religion, sociology of social problems, and religious studies.
