Solid, but not great, history

White (with C. Howard Hopkins) offers a somewhat interesting and in-depth view of the social gospel movement, or about a glance as can be managed in a book of this size. The authors do a very good job of utilizing original sources, bringing in writings of social gospel advocates themselves to explain what they stood for and why. This time of our history, when religious principles were applied to social teachings, was an interesting one and one worthy of study. This work, while far from complete or perfect, is a decent start.
