Walter Rauschenbusch's thought made an indelible and enduring
impact on the Christian world and beyond. Scores of books and
hundreds of articles have rediscovered the implications of his work
in church history, ethics, politics, gender studies, international
relations, German American cross culturalism, Christian
spirituality, Baptist religious identity, and the Liberal and
evangelical theological perspectives. His writings made an
immediate impact upon publication, and have been reprinted over the
years since by many different disciples. A roster of distinguished
and younger scholars plumbed the depths of Rauschenbusch's impact
on the Christian Tradition. Rauschenbusch biographers Gary Dorrien
and Christopher Evans assess Walter's place in the course of
American religious thought, particularly the Liberal tradition. A
second group of papers is devoted to the extent of the
Rauschenbusch legacy and includes writers Andrea Strubind (the
German context), Adam Bond (Samuel D. Proctor as a disciple of the
Black Social Gospel), Roger Prentice (the Canadian Context), and
Chakravarthy Zadda (the Telugu mission context in India). A third
cluster features specific aspects of the Rauschenbusch legacy:
Wendy Deichmann (gender and the family); Darryl Trimiew (the Black
Church); Dominik Gautier (postcolonial reflection by a European);
and Christina Littlefield (Rauschenbusch as a Muckraker). Gathered
under the heading of ""The Largeness of the Rauschenbusch Legacy""
are essays by Heath Carter (Rauschenbusch's place in history);
David Gushee (an analysis of Rauschenbusch's Kingdom ethic); and
William Brackney (Rauschenbusch's contribution to Baptist life and
thought). Of particular interest is the personal reflection by Paul
B. Raushenbush, great grandson of Walter.
