Parmi les principes théologiques protestants fondateurs, l'affirmation que la foi seule assure le salut du croyant s'exprime souvent. N'étant plus méritoires, les œuvres n'en sont pas pour autant interdites : l'action envers les plus démunis, au profit des corps souffrants, s'observe là où la réformation s'implante. Et l'encouragement à diverses entreprises d'entraide communautaire demeure réel. Les œuvres ne sont plus garantes du salut, comme dans le catholicisme, mais un prolongement de la foi, de l'application de l'amour du prochain et de la reconnaissance envers Dieu. Les œuvres protestantes en Europe examine cette notion d'œuvres du XVIe au début du XXe siècle : les institutions qui les encadrent, les organisent ; les figures et les structures qui se singularisent dans le domaine de l'assistance. Cette réflexion s'appuie d'abord sur les écrits qui appellent à prendre soin de son prochain : textes théologiques, cours de formation pastorale, sermons stimulent, chacun à sa manière, l'action charitable. Passer du texte aux actes s'impose alors pour comprendre l'importance, dans la vie quotidienne des fidèles, d'une pratique devenue impératif chrétien et facteur de cohésion communautaire. Dès lors, l'approche du secours matériel et spirituel nécessite de détailler les structures qui, sur quatre siècles, traduisent l'influence d'une conscience accrue de la dimension sociale de l'Évangile.

"This book is the product of a South African - Nordic research collaboration that wanted to gain deeper insight into the role that faith-based organizations (FBOs) play in the lives of young people eking out a living from the margins of society. The book as such distinguishes itself as a first major international scholarly endeavor to explore the contemporary phenomenon of youth marginalization from a concerted interdisciplinary faith-based organizational interest. While the exploration of concepts such as NEET (an acronym for young people not in education, employment or training), social cohesion and FBOs constitutes an important point of departure, the book's essential contribution lies in the empirical work undertaken. In six case studies, conducted respectively in locations in South Africa, Finland and Norway, the authors make a deliberate attempt to give a voice to the young people with whom interviews were conducted. The result is a scholarly work that in its discussions and conclusions is both critical and appreciative of the involvement of FBOs in the lives of marginalized youths but also the research achievement itself. Perspectives that recognize the meaningful presence of FBOs in the lives and lived religion of many young people at the margins are presented, while authors do not shy away either from highlighting the shortcomings of FBOs to work more purposefully with young people in overcoming the conditions conducive to their marginalization. Ultimately, however, this book does not confine itself to a critical perspective on FBOs alone but through the contribution of some of its authors present illuminating insight into what may still be required from the point of view of academic research to participate in larger liberative practices involving young people but also FBOs at the margins of society." --

"Charity" is a word that fits well in the history of religion and churches, whereas the concept of social reform seems to belong more to the vocabulary of the modern welfare states. Christian charity found itself, during the long nineteenth century, within the maelstrom of social turmoil. In this context of social unrest, although charity managed to confirm its relevance, it was also subjected to fierce criticism, as well as to substitute state-run forms of social care and insurance. The history of the welfare states remained all too blind to religion. This book unravels how the churches in Britain and Ireland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium shaped and adjusted their understanding of poverty. It reveals how they struggled with the "social question" and often also with the modern nation-states to which they belonged. Either in the periphery of public assistance or in a dynamic interplay with the state, political parties and society at large, the churches reinvented their tradition as providers of social relief.
