*Advance Praise & Reviews*
"Fran Quigley has written the right book for the right reasons at the right time--for all time. The profiles are courageous and true; the socialism of the Gospel has and will continue to stand the test of time. This joyful, righteous book will be read and digested and upon its publication will find its way into seminary and divinity school classrooms worldwide. The endorsement from this Christian Socialist is full-throated and glad-hearted. Thank you, Professor Quigley!"--Rev. Dr. Angela Cowser, Associate Dean of Black Church Studies and Doctor of Ministry programs, Louisville Seminary For most of this nation's history, religious socialists made their case to a population that was, for the most part, hospitable to religion and resistant to socialism. Today, those trends are moving in opposite directions. A majority of young people and persons of color in the U.S. express support for socialism. At the same time, even as religious affiliation has dropped, most Americans still say religion is important to them.
