A Rauschenbusch reader: The kingdom of God and the social gospel

by Walter Rauschenbusch, Benson Y. Landis (Editor)

***COURTESY OF TWOBEARS BOOKS*** Walter Rauschenbusch has been called "the greatest single personal influence on the life and thought of the American church in the last fifty years." Here is the distilled essence of the writings of one of America's great social prophets, set in the context of the era of change and violence in which he lived. The books editor, Benson Y. Landis, has carefully gathered Rauschenbusch's most powerful and pointed statements in the light of today, and has prefaced each excerpt with a helpful sketch of the mood and events of the year in which each was originally published. All the passion, prophecy and scholarship of Rauschenbusch is here, ranging from his remarkable addresses, through the great body of his social thought, to his memorable prayers and collects.
