  <abstract>"The New Christianity; or, The Religion of the New Age" by Salem Goldworth Bland is a theological treatise written in the early 20th century. This work explores the evolving nature of Christianity in response to contemporary social dynamics, particularly in the wake of World War I and the emergence of labor movements. The author seeks to articulate a vision for a new form of Christianity that aligns with democratic and brotherly values suited to the modern age.  The opening of the book establishes the context in which Bland writes, addressing the turmoil and challenges faced by Western nations after the war. He reflects on the dual nature of nations grappling with internal strife while simultaneously undergoing significant movements of social change. He emphasizes that the essence of Christianity should focus on the principles of democracy and brotherhood, suggesting a transformative path for religion that moves towards inclusivity and social justice. Bland expresses hope that Canada, with its unique combination of challenges and strengths, can lead the way in this new social order, setting the stage for a thoughtful discussion on the intersection of faith, society, and justice.
