Perspectives on the Social Gospel: Papers from the Inaugural Social Gosepl Conference at Colgate Rochester Divinity School

by Christopher Hodge Evans

Papers from an April 1998 conference show that the social gospel, once seen as a clearly identifiable time period in American religious history, actually covers a broad spectrum of religious and theological traditions that point beyond liberal Protestant and North American origins. They review questions concerning social gospel historiography, examine the careers of three prominent spokespersons of the social gospel, and discuss neglected areas of social gospel scholarship.
