About the Author

Harlan Beckley is the author and editor of multiple publications: books, articles, reviews, and more popular essays. His longest single-authored book was Passion for Justice --a widely read interpretation and comparison of Walter Rauschenbusch, Reinhold Niebuhr, and John Augustine Ryan.

Beckley served as editor, for five years, of the Journal of the Society of Christin Ethics (formerly known as the Annual of the Society of Christian Ethics). He was shortly thereafter elected to the Society's board of directors, then became vice president and president of the Society of Christian Ethics in 2000 and 2001.

In addition, Beckley founded the Shepherd Poverty Studies Program at Washington and Lee, which he directed for 16 years. He also founded the Shepherd Higher Education Consortium on Poverty in 2012, serving as executive director off and on through 2019. He also served as acting president of Washington and Lee in 2004-05.

His latest book is a co-edited volume entitled Ethics and Advocacy: Bridges and Boundaries.
