Walter Rauschenbusch: Published Works and Selected Writings; Christianity and the Social Crisis and Other Writings - Couverture rigide
Synopsis
Walter Rauschenbusch is credited by many interpreters as the fountainhead of the social gospel in America. An American Baptist minister of German heritage, Rauschenbusch was the "prophet" of a movement that created a watershed in American religious thought. This three-volume set makes available the original texts of a seminal thinker in an authorized and critical edition. Volume I contains reproductions of the original texts of the first "great book" of Walter Rauschenbusch, CHRISTIANITY AND THE SOCIAL CRISIS (1907), plus another popular work, FOR GOD AND THE PEOPLE (1910). Historical theologian William H. Brackney provides an historical introduction to Rauschenbuschs life, taking into account a wide variety of primary and secondary sources. Also included are shorter works, THE NEW EVANGELISM, Samuel Zane Battens defining tract, THE KINGDOM OF GOD, Rauschenbuschs last literary works, select Rauschenbusch correspondence, and a hymn written in his honor.
