The Social Gospel Movement originated during the second half of the 19th century. Its main ideas that good actions led to salvation, as people must emulate the life of Jesus Christ in their day to the activities. American Theoolgist Walter Rauschenbusch was one of the main representatives of this movement.
On the other hand, the progressive movement proposed the idea that of improving society by implementing reforms in education, safety and health that would lead to people's overall well-being, as this was seen as the ultimate goal of progressivism.
