Rev. Frank Buchman, was a Protestant Christian evangelist who founded the Oxford Group (known as Moral Re-Armament from 1938 until 2001, and currently known as Initiatives of Change "This movement makes a great deal of testimony. It is not propagated in the ordinary way by preaching. It seems as though the Word of God, "It pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe" (1 Cor. 1:21), has really failed." "Since it came home to me that it might really be a duty to speak on this subject, I have not been unmindful of that passage in Proverbs 18:13, "He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him," and I have really taken it up with a great deal of reluctance. I want to frankly acknowledge that I have never attended any of the meetings of the Oxford Group Fellowship, I have never listened to any of their testimonies, I have never heard any of their addresses. A week or so ago I was invited with other ministers of this city to go to the Drake Hotel and attend one of their meetings, but as I had to be away from the city that day, I gave my ticket to one of my associates who attended for me and brought me a report of the meeting. Although I have not participated in any of their services, I have read quite a few of their booklets, pamphlets, and addresses, and I have also had the opportunity of meeting and conversing with a number of earnest Christians who at one time were intimately linked with the movement."

The Spiritual Vision of Frank Buchman is an in-depth look at the life, spirituality, and ideology of one of the most original figures in twentieth-century religion. Frank Buchman (1878–1961), the Pennsylvania-born initiator of the movement known as the Oxford Group and Moral Re-Armament, was a Lutheran pastor who first had influence as a college evangelist and missionary with the YMCA. His thinking then evolved during the 1930s, the Second World War, and the early Cold War as he tried to develop a world philosophy that could offer an answer to war and materialism. His impact was particularly felt in the areas of conflict resolution between nations and interfaith dialogue, and Alcoholics Anonymous also owed much to his methods. Philip Boobbyer’s book is the first scholarly overview of Buchman’s ideas and is an important addition to the growing corpus of academic literature on his worldwide outreach. Boobbyer shows how his work reflected broader processes in twentieth-century religion and politics and can be seen as a spiritual response to an emerging global society.

This is the first book-length study of the Oxford Group Movement (also known as Buchmanism and Moral Rearmament), a Christian organization founded by Lutheran minister Frank Buchman in 1921, which saw the solution to fear and selfishness in "surrendering one's life over to God's plan" and which later influenced the philosophy of Alcoholics Anonymous. Eister employs sociological techniques in his investigation and analysis of the movement, drawing from reading, firsthand observation, and personal contact with numerous members of the group. He describes its founding and development; sets forth its principal aims and methods; and attempts an analysis of the basic motivations that lead people to join. In considering the differences between "sect" and "cult," the author characterizes the group as a cult based on its loose organization.
