DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The final book of this three-volume set brings together important texts of Walter Rauschenbush, most significantly an unpublished book, "Christianity Revolutionary" first begun in 1891-92. 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 also includes three shorter publications of Rauschenbusch: "The Kingdom of God" defines one of his major principles, "The Value and Use of History" reveals the premises of his vocation, and "Why I am a Baptist'" is a series of editorials that provided a timely apologetic for Baptist principles. As with the first two volumes, a select correspondence section contains poetry, selections from a summer journal, and letters from Gerald Birney Smith, Vida Scudder, and William H. P. Faunce. The most extensive bibliography for Walter Rauschenbusch has been assembled in this volume as well and it 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. In his introduction, drawing upon hundreds of sources, Brackney accounts for American, English, and German influences on Rauschenbusch, including his famous "Kingdom", or "Basdeie" theology.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →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. A theological educator, social activist, and church historian, Rauschenbusch is continually revisited a century after his death. This three-volume set makes available the original texts of a seminal thinker in an authorized and critical edition. Volume II is oriented toward an ethical appreciation of the life and works of Walter Rauschenbusch. Ethicist David Gushee provides an in-depth analysis of Rauschenbusch's ethics, tracing in particular the course of development of Christian ethics and Rauschenbusch's contribution. Included are Rauschenbusch's major works, Christianizing The Social Order (1912), Dare We Be Christian? (1914), and The Social Principles of Jesus (1916). Also included are shorter works, Unto Me (1912), Some Moral Aspects of the Woman Movement (1913) and The Greatest of These (1913). A dynamic thinker, whose ethics reveal an evolving character from a strictly Biblicist method to his being influenced by Socialist thinkers, German historicism, American Progressive Era economics, and his own empirical observations, Rauschenbusch sharply critiqued western industrialism in light of the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.
