Walter Rauschenbusch: American Reformer

Rating:
Summary: Okay biography
Review: In this biography of the leading theologian of the social gospel, Minus does a good job of tracing Rauschenbusch's history and family. Less covered though, and something I felt was important to understanding the man, was coverage of his political and social beliefs - these are touched upon, but aren't the subject of much study. Minus also tends to overlook flaws of Rauschenbusch, preferring an overly praising view of the man. I have not read other biographies of Rauschenbusch, so this may be the best. If so, it is well worth reading, regardless of its flaws, as this is a man certainly worthy of study.
