Subtitle: By Dr. Sándor Giesswein
A forwardlooking publication from the first decade of the 20th century, about the 'middle way' Christianity presents towards the social problem, next to socialism and liberalism. Written by the well-read Dr. Sándor Giesswein.
The most outstanding figure of Christian social thought in Hungary is Sándor Giesswein, whose ancestors came to Hungary from Alsace during the reign of Maria Theresa. After theological studies in Vienna and Budapest, he was ordained a priest in 1878. His political career began in 1898, and from 1904 he served as president of the Federation of Christian Social Associations. As a can didate of the Catholic People’s Party, he won a parliamentary mandate in 1905 and represented his constituents in the Hungarian National Assembly for nearly twenty years. We considered it important to republish his comprehensive work Social Problems and the Christian Worldview, in order to rescue it from the somewhat forgotten status that it has undeservedly suffered. At the same time, we have prepared the English-language edition as well, since through Sallux, a European Christian think tank, it can make widely known the fact that outstanding personalities who pursued politics on Christian foundations did not exist only in the West. In this way, we too can connect to the 21st-century circulation of this system of ideas. - Dr. Koloman Brenner President of the Europe Is Our Future Do you find the information in this report helpful and inspiring?
