'''Christian socialism''' was a movement that began in the late 1800s by some [[church]] groups to preach the "social gospel", which urged more [[government]] taxing and spending for the benefit of the lower economic classes. This movement attempted to ameliorate [[poverty]] by redistributing wealth rather than increasing economic prosperity. Critics accused social gospel preachers on focusing on this world rather than focusing on the more important goal of saving souls.
