Christian Sources of German Social State

Hans Paul Prümm

The social state is a result of a historic process driven not only by economic arguments but by ideological - und that includes religious ideas - concepts too. Because the further development of biblical social approach during the centuries on different areas (theology, politics, arts) the parents of Basic Law were - at least partially - influenced by Christian social ideas. These ideas did not form a coherent concept rather than important topics on the way “to make the world better than they found it.”
