This is an engaging look at the various social expressions of Christianity in 20th century America. Dorrien is a brilliant writer who gives each figure & movement a life of their own, bringing out the various nuances. I would gladly read anything by Dorrien.

But for your money, Soul in Society is absolutely worth it if you are remotely interested in church history, US history, social ethics, politics, etc.
