The Moral and Religious Challenge of our Times; the Guiding Principle in Human Development, Reverenc

The Moral and Religious Challenge of Our Times is a 1911 volume by Henry Churchill King (1858-1934), the philosopher-theologian who served as president of Oberlin College from 1902 to 1927. Published by Macmillan, the book gathers King’s lectures arguing that reverence for personality is the guiding principle of human development, applying that test to the social, educational, and religious questions of the Progressive Era. King was among the most listened-to voices of American liberal Protestantism, and Woodrow Wilson later named him to the 1919 King-Crane Commission on the post-war Middle East. The lectures show the personalist idealism that ran through all his writing, from Reconstruction in Theology onward. The book is a primary source for Progressive Era religious thought.
