Prayer and Social Concern: Paul Rees and the Chicago Declaration
December 17, 2012
Perhaps the only benefit of having spent this past weekend laid up sick in bed was that I had plenty of time in which to finally finish David Swartz’s outstanding Moral Minority, the definitive history of the vast array of individual, communities, organizations, and publications that constituted the “evangelical left” in the late 1960s and … More Prayer and Social Concern: Paul Rees and the Chicago Declaration
