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. This three-volume set makes available the original texts of a seminal thinker in an authorized and critical edition. Volume I contains reproductions of the original texts of the first “great book” of Walter Rauschenbusch, CHRISTIANITY AND THE SOCIAL CRISIS (1907), plus another popular work, FOR GOD AND THE PEOPLE: PRAYERS FOR THE SOCIAL AWAKENING (1910). Also included are shorter works, THE NEW EVANGELISM, Samuel Zane Batten’s defining tract, THE KINGDOM OF GOD, Rauschenbusch’s last literary works, select Rauschenbusch correspondence, and a hymn written in his honor.

Volume III brings together important texts of Walter Rauschenbusch, most significantly an unpublished book, "Christianity Revolutionary" first begun in 1891/92. This text was published under another title and with significant modifications. Here is the original, unaltered text for the first time. 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.
The most extensive bibliography for Walter Rauschenbusch has been assembled in this volume. It includes a first-ever listing of archival resources from North American and European collections that will suggest and enable further investigation of Rauschenbusch.
