How does one become 'righteous among the Nations'? In the case of
Henri Nick (1868-1954) and Andre Trocme (1901-1971), two French
Protestant pastors who received the title for their acts of
solidarity toward persecuted Jews, it was because they had been
immersed, from an early age, in the discourses and practices of
social Christianity. Focussing on the lives of these two remarkable
figures of twentieth-century Christianity, Revivalism and Social
Christianity is the first study in English on the Social Gospel in
French Protestantism. Chalamet presents a genealogy of the
movement, from its emergence in the last decades of the nineteenth
century to its high point during World War II, in Le
Chambon-sur-Lignon, where Trocme and many local people rescued
hundreds of Jewish refugees. As social Christians who prayed and
worked for the coming of God's kingdom on earth in the midst of a
society ravaged by two world wars, Henri Nick and Andre Trocme
combined a deep revivalist faith with a concern for the concrete
conditions in which people live.
