In the thirty-one years Tittle occupied the pulpit of one of the largest and most prestigious Methodist churches in America--First Church, in Evanston, Illinois--he delivered sermons ranging widely over matters of ultimate concern to men and nations, and when he stepped down from the pulpit he actively engaged himself in the problems of society. His life (1885-1949) illuminates the story of American Protestantism. Originally published in 1971.
