Description
The first critical religious biography of Preston Taylor, this book is a must read for students of Disciples history. Robinson offers an important corrective to the historiography of the Stone-Campbell movement by placing Taylor and the African American churches and organizations with which he worked at the center of this history rather than in its margins. Historians of the turn-of-the-century Black social gospel will also find in Taylor a figure worthy of further study. This biography is a gift to the church and the academy.
