Against the Hounds of Hell: A Life of Howard Thurman

Against the Hounds of Hell will at last establish this multifaceted historical personage as a leading figure of twentieth-century American politics, religion, and culture.

"Until now, there has been no standard one-volume biography of this transcendently important figure, one of the most important ministers, theologians, and philosophers of twentieth-century America.

"In this book, Peter Eisenstadt gives current and future generations a masterpiece for understanding Thurman’s significance in shaping our history and a promising future. "—Luther E. Smith Jr., Emory University, author of Howard Thurman: The Mystic as Prophet
