Harry Emerson Fosdick

1878–1969 · Baptist; liberal Protestant (United States) · New York City

Harry Emerson Fosdick (1878–1969) was an American Baptist minister who taught at Union Theological Seminary, preached at the First Presbyterian Church in New York, and from 1930 at the Riverside Church built for him by John D. Rockefeller Jr. His sermon Shall the Fundamentalists Win? of 1922 made him the best-known spokesman of liberal Protestantism in America and the chief target of its opponents. Only his work published in 1930 or earlier is out of copyright in the United States, and only that is held here.
