Sommario/riassunto

Magda Trocme (1901-1996) was the Italian-born wife of Reverend Andre Trocme (1901-1971), a French pastor deeply involved in the social gospel movement that saw Christianity embedded in progressive political struggles. This book includes a mosaic of his sermons, letters, published articles, diaries, and speeches from the war years.
