Abstract

The search of George D. Herron for a means which might lead mankind to a better life was an important one in the current of American reform between 1890 and 1920. Herron--clergyman, socialist, and diplomat--has figured in recent studies of Protestant Christianity and reform in post-Civil War industrial America. His impact on Protestant theology in the 1890's is the subject of a more specialized study; in it, Professor Robert Handy of Union Theological Seminary states that Herron's "Kingdom Movement" was the "single most important phase" of social gospel history during the nineties.
