Nathan Soderblom (1866-1931) was one of the leading historians of religion in the past century. As a Swedish patriot and cosmopolitan, he was rewarded the Nobel peace prize in 1930 for his indefatigable efforts for the restoration and preservation of the peace from the beginning of World War I onwards. As the Lutheran archbishop of Sweden from 1914 until the end of his life, he became one of the pioneers of the ecumenical movement. His concept of unity in variety is not only true to the Protestant heritage but probably also the only viable strategy. The essay on Evangelic Catholicity is one of the most lucid pieces he has written on the subject.
