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 its margins. Historians of the turn-of-the-century Black social gospel will also find Taylor a figure worthy of further study. This biography is a gift to the church and the academy.
