Title: Mediocre history of a religious movement
Product review: There is nothing really bad with this history - my complaint is simply that I really hadn't learned much of anything after reading it through. Most history texts are chock-full of fact, but this one somehow manages to spread that thin throughout. I can't recommend any better resources on the social gospel, but can simply suggest reading biographies of major figures or more specific books ("The Social Gospel In Black and White".) The history by Ronald White and C. Howard Hopkins is a better option for a general overview, though it is also far from perfect.
