First sentence: William Porcher DuBose (April 11, 1836-August 18, 1918) is appreciated for the depth, originality, and beauty of the theological contribution that he made.
Description: "Recognized and appreciated as one of the most original and creative Episcopal theologians in the denomination's history, William Porcher DuBose (1836-1918) published seven books of theological importance, including an autobiographical work, and his life is commemorated as a "lesser feast" of the Episcopal Calendar of the Church Year.".

"Slocum chronicles the theologian's life - including childhood on a plantation near Columbia, South Carolina; education at The Citadel and the University of Virginia; years as an adjutant and then as a chaplain in the Civil War; and distinguished career as a chaplain, professor and dean at the University of the South at Sewanee, Tennessee.".

"Slocum considers DuBose's theological system in terms of soteriology, christology, pneumatology, and ecclesiology. He finds an understanding of salvation that culminates in DuBose's theology of the Church, a pneumatology that serves is a point of synthesis for DuBose's work, and an ecclesiology that is preeminently ecumenical. Out of this he constructs an account of the relevance of DuBose's theological vision for the life and unity of the Church today."--BOOK JACKET.
