Rebel, Priest and Prophet: A Biography of Dr. Edward McGlynn by Stephen Bell is a comprehensive account of the life of Dr. Edward McGlynn, a Catholic priest who was a prominent social reformer in the late 19th century. The book traces McGlynn's life from his childhood in New York City to his ordination as a priest and his eventual excommunication from the Catholic Church. McGlynn was known for his advocacy for social justice and his support for the labor movement. He was a vocal critic of the economic policies of his time, particularly those that he believed perpetuated poverty and inequality. McGlynn's activism earned him both admirers and detractors, and he was eventually removed from his position as pastor of St. Stephen's Church in New York City due to his controversial views.Bell's biography draws on a wealth of primary sources, including McGlynn's personal papers and correspondence, to provide a nuanced portrait of this complex figure. The book explores McGlynn's relationships with other prominent social reformers of his time, including Henry George and Emma Goldman, as well as his interactions with the Catholic Church hierarchy.Overall, Rebel, Priest and Prophet offers a compelling look at the life of a man who was both a devout Catholic and a passionate advocate for social justice. Bell's writing is engaging and accessible, making this book an excellent choice for anyone interested in the history of social reform in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
