This 1958 edition of The Manhood of the Master by Harry Emerson Fosdick is a classic piece of 20th-century liberal theology. Originally published in 1913, this printing was issued by Association Press, the hallmark of the YMCA. Fosdick, the founding pastor of New York City's Riverside Church, remains a towering figure in American religious history.
The book is cleverly structured as a thoughtful daily devotional exploring the life and personality of Jesus. Its mid-century minimalist cover design in teal and green makes it a lovely shelf piece for collectors of vintage theology or YMCA history. This copy features a personal library stamp on the endpaper, adding a touch of unique provenance. A timeless addition for historians, theologians, or anyone interested in the foundational works of modern prayer and thought.
Item condition: Vintage fair to good condition. There is notable sun-fading and discoloration on the right side of the cover. Visible shelf wear is present at the corners and edges. Interior pages show age-appropriate toning and minor spotting, though the text remains clear. The binding is intact. Includes a personal library stamp from a previous owner on the front endpaper.
