Sándor Makkai: Dead Sea

The novel raises several questions: Does the pastor have a role to play in finding practical solutions to social problems? Can preaching the gospel be linked to reforming the living conditions of the local community? Is a church operating within traditional theological frameworks capable of reaching out to secularized people? What role do the church and pastors play in the life of a national community living in a minority situation? Ultimately, do intellectuals responsible for the community have a role to play in the field of religion in solving social issues?
