Description
Nathan Söderblom was a profoundly influential figure in Swedish church history and a pioneer of the modern ecumenical movement. He played a key role in promoting peace during World War I and laid the foundations for intercommunion between the Church of Sweden and the Church of England through his collaboration with George Bell. Until now, Söderblom's life and work have been largely overlooked by historians, but this biography corrects that oversight. Based on meticulous analysis of Söderblom's preserved correspondence and interviews with those who knew him, it offers a nuanced portrait of a complex and fascinating individual. This book sheds new light on the life and legacy of Nathan Söderblom, revealing a man deeply committed to his leadership of ecumenical projects, including his influential movement of 'Life and Work'.
