Title:
Analysis of the socio-political and religious influence of the clergyman and activist, RV. William Sloane Coffin, during the period 1960-1990 in the United States of America
William Sloane Coffin, one of the most influential and representative figures of the Protestant Liberalism movement has been the subject of the present research. The main aims of this project are to analyze the social and religious work of an important liberal Christian during the period 1960 -1990 in the history of the United States of America, as well as publicize his position and actions to achieve social justice by using his most important and famous works. This research registers his influence as pacifist and his actions at the front line defending the civil rights and some important social issues. As well as his life and his memorable written works in the first two chapters respectively, and a deep analysis of the social and religious work from his position as Christian this is detailed in chapter 4. The relationship he made between religion and politics; his work on controversial issues such as sexism, segregation, abortion, nuclear weapons, and the Vietnam War were also examined in chapters three and four. For being an ardent human rights defender, a passionate activist, and an eloquent critic against the Vietnam war, William Sloane Coffin, has been taken into consideration to be part of different analysis and used as an example to confront social and political problems that most part of the time are not examined
