This biography traces Rev. Julius Caesar Herrin's life from a mill town in North Carolina to the national scene. His life is a microcosm of struggles within the American church to create the Beloved Community. Herrin's work was possible because his liberal theology and support for interracial meetings resulted in his firing in 1954 by North Carolina Baptists, for whom he worked with the Baptist Student Union at UNC Chapel Hill. That firing forced him to move north, where he ministered in an American Baptist church. The Field Foundation, the American Baptist Home Mission Societies, and other American Baptist organizations in 1958 provided funds for Herrin's return south and his entry into the Civil Rights Movement.

In this compelling intellectual biography, readers are invited to reconsider that assumption through the life and thought of neo-evangelical American Baptist theologian Bernard Ramm (1916-1992), one of the most significant yet underappreciated figures in modern evangelical history.
