Nathan Soederblom (1866-1931), was not only a profoundly
influential figure in Swedish church history, but also one of the
great pioneers of the modern ecumenical movement. Elected
Archbishop of Uppsala, the head of the Lutheran church in Sweden,
in 1914, he was a ceaseless advocate for peace during the first
world war. His collaboration with George Bell laid the foundations
for intercommunion between the Church of Sweden and the Church of
England. Finally, in the year before he died, he was awarded the
Nobel Peace Prize. Despite this, until this landmark biography he
was largely neglected by historians, the subject of only a few
partial studies. In Nathan Soederblom: His Life and Work, Bengt
Sundkler corrects this, with new analysis of Soederblom's
meticulously preserved correspondence and interviews with his
family, friends and former students. The resulting image is of a
man deeply committed to his leadership of ecumenical projects, most
significantly his movement of 'Life and Work', btu also of a
complex and fascinating personality.
