George McGovern is chiefly remembered for his landslide loss to Richard Nixon in 1972. Yet at the time, his candidacy raised eyebrows by invoking the prophetic tradition, an element of his legacy that is little studied. Mark A. Lempke explores the influence of McGovern's evangelical childhood, Social Gospel worldview, and Methodism on a campaign that brought antiwar activism into the mainstream.
