520 1 $a"Gathering the insights of distinguished historians, theologians, and service leaders, this volume offers a fundamental rationale or "case" for Lutheran engagement in social services by highlighting the biblical warrants, panoramic historical expressions, and deep theological underpinnings of such Christian corporate social engagement." "In an age characterized by economic transformation, governmental devolution, religious pluralism, and heightened disparity between rich and poor, this volume can help Lutheran Christians, especially professionals in social ministries, take fresh stock of the creative commitment that has underlay Lutheran social services over the centuries and the developing vision of how that distinctive heritage can inform and enliven social services today."--BOOK JACKET.
