Peter R. Eisenstadt's Against the Hounds of Hell offers a compelling perspective on Black history in the twentieth-century United States by exploring the life and influence of the underappreciated Howard Thurman. Eisenstadt's deep knowledge of Thurman's career and papers, having served as associate editor of the Howard Thurman Papers Project, comes across on every page. Thurman was born at the dawn of the twentieth century in Daytona, Florida, and his deep spirituality, along with his tireless scholarship and drive, marked his decades of public leadership. He was educated at Morehouse College and Rochester Seminary, and his ministry included a brief pastorate in Oberlin, Ohio, and later over a decade as pastor of the intentionally interracial Fellowship Church in San Francisco. Thurman also served on the faculty of Morehouse, became a professor of religion and the first dean of Rankin Chapel at Howard University, and later served as dean of the Chapel at Boston University
