Bernard Iddings Bell, rebel rouser
Article Abstract:
Bernard Iddings Bell's controversial books looking at the American way of life attracted much attention. Bell was an ordained priest in the Episcopal Church and by 1950 was known as a distinguished Christian writer, with an audience extending to England and Canada. His books had a great influence on prominent men and women of letters such as Russell Kirk. His books temper his independence of thought with the wisdom of the race, proceeding with faith, hope and love. He considers the discoveries of modern science and modern philosophy, claiming to be neither a fundamentalist nor a modernist, but more a diagnostician of the soul and of the commonwealth.
