“Social Progress is only Possible on the Basis of a Sound Christian Morality.”

Abstract

Human experience and facticity attest to the fact that, no matter what it takes, nobody absolutely lives on an island. Instead, we are in
one way or another, globally connected to the effect that what happens in one part of the world yields a virtuous or pernicious effect on the rest of the world. Accordingly, it is legitimate and necessary to have an established set and system of morals and values to guide our social life in order that every individual and society at large progresses toward the good. However, the topical question which preoccupies us is how can we foster this social progress. As a result, this paper endeavours to explain whether social progress is only possible on the basis of sound Christian morality or not. Yet in order to substantiate this, we shall begin by understanding
Christian morality and then see if it can be the only necessary condition for social progress or not.
