Walter Rauschenbusch: Published Works and Selected Writings: a Theology of the Social Gospel 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. Vol. III brings together important texts of Rauschenbusch, most significantly an unpublished book, "Christianity Revolutionary" first begun in 1891/92, and here is the original, unaltered text for the first time. In addition, this volume contains Rauschenbusch's last major work, A THEOLOGY FOR THE SOCIAL GOSPEL (1917). This answered the call for a serious theological underpinning of the social gospel. Volume III includes a first-ever listing of archival resources from North American and European collections that will suggest and enable further investigation of Rauschenbusch. The textual content of Volume III begins with a Theological Introduction prepared by William H. Brackney, eminent historical theologian of the Baptist movement.
