Detailed explanation-1: -The social gospel’s origins are often traced to the rise of late 19th-century urban industrialization, immediately following the Civil War. Largely, but not exclusively, rooted in Protestant churches, the social gospel emphasized how Jesus’ ethical teachings could remedy the problems caused by “Gilded Age” capitalism.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Social Gospel Movement was a religious movement that arose during the second half of the nineteenth century. Ministers, especially ones belonging to the Protestant branch of Christianity, began to tie salvation and good works together. They argued that people must emulate the life of Jesus Christ.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thus, although the Social Gospel movement will always be identified with the response to the rapidly emerging industrialism of the late nineteenth century, it is also the case that many advocates of the Social Gospel were also concerned with race relations and the rights of African-Americans.
