Rauschenbusch, Walter

Rauschenbusch, Walter (1861–1918), exponent of the Social Gospel in N. America. Serving as pastor of the Second German Baptist Church of New York, he encountered the cost of escalating social evils. His Pietistic background provided few resources for dealing with social questions, but he found in the Kingdom of God theology taught by A. Ritschl and others a way to bring together his inherited evangelical and his new social convictions. His Christianity and the Social Crisis (1907) was an eloquent plea for the joining of Christian faith with social passion.
