Trade Review
"Bourgeois tackles his subjects with vigour and provides many valuable insights to this little-studied period in the history of the Episcopal Church."--Journal of Ecclesiastical History
"Bourgeois's examination of the thought and work of Bishop Henry Codman Potter contributes not only to the scholarly research on the Social Gospel movement, but also to contemporary discussions regarding the church, its basic purpose, and the responsibilities of church leaders themselves."--Touchstone
"Combining first-rate scholarship with lucid writing, Bourgeois has produced the first in-depth study of this key player in American Episcopal life."--Charles Lippy, author of Twentieth-Century Shapers of American Popular Religion and Pluralism Comes of Age: American Religious Culture in the Twentieth Century
