Washington Gladden's Church
This is the first significant book-length biography in over 50 years of Washington Gladden, a minister, journalist, and reformer whose message of religious liberalism came to define modern Protestantism in the United States. Although largely forgotten today, Gladden was one of the most well-known pastors of his time and a leader of the social gospel and progressive movement. Mislin chronicles Gladden’s early years bristling against the culture of a pious small town in upstate New York, his personal and family struggles during the Civil War, and his eventual professional success that came by providing a religious message for a society struggling with skepticism about organized religion, massive economic inequality, rampant corporate malfeasance, and widespread racial and religious bigotry. Through this book, Gladden’s life emerges as both a model for the fusion of progressive political, social, and religious commitments, as well as a cautionary tale of the potential perils for those who critique society from inside elite institutions.

Liberty and Justice for All
In the century between the "Emancipation Proclamation" of Abraham Lincoln and the "I Have a Dream" speech of Martin Luther King Jr., America sought both to rebuff and to redeem the promise of "liberty and justice for all." The story of slavery and the bloody civil war that abolished it has been told, but the story of the struggle for liberty and justice by and for African Americans in the half-century following the end of Reconstruction has been largely overlooked. In this highly readable narrative, distinguished historian Ronald C. White Jr. portrays the people, their ideas, and their ongoing struggle for racial reform in the United States from 1877-1925--a vital prelude to the modern civil rights movement and Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Systematic Thought of Washington Gladden
As the minister of the First Congregational Church, Columbus, Ohio, Washington Gladden exerted a national and international influence as the unofficial Father of the Social Gospel. Coupling a sociological concern with his liberal theological dedication, Gladden re-emphasized the role of the Church as the institutional servant of the Kingdom of God in continuing society. Although Walter Rauschenbusch has been considered the most prominent member of the Movement, Gladden offered the original impetus in his practical emphasis upon the reintegration of the sacred and the secular, and the Church and the State. - p. vii.
