Donald Heinz is Professor of Religious Studies emeritus at California State University, Chico, where he also was dean of Humanities and Fine Arts. He is a Lutheran minister in the ELCA. His books are The Last Passage: Recovering a Death of Our Own and Christmas: Festival of Incarnation. He is interested in ethics as social gospel and in the sociology of religion as contested public space.
"I could not stop reading this book--it is at once theologically
substantive and entertaining. The call for a recovery of the social
gospel is welcome--at least it is welcome given Heinz's
understanding of the gospel. We live in a strange time but that a
book like this can be written gives one hope."
--Stanley Hauerwas, Duke Divinity School
"Rarely does one encounter such a sobering analysis of our present
crisis combined with such an impressive discussion of how to move
forward. Writing in the prophetic tradition of Reinhold Niebuhr and
Robert Bellah, and drawing on extensive knowledge of biblical
interpretation, Donald Heinz has outlined a call for a renewed
social gospel that is both timely and compelling."
--Robert Wuthnow, Princeton University
