Harry Emerson Fosdick (1878-1969) was a central figure in the Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy within American Protestantism in the 1920s and 1930s and one of the most prominent liberal ministers of the early 20th Century. He became the first pastor of the interdenominational Riverside Church and made the cover of Time magazine in 1930. The Assurance of Immortality was written in 1913 as an argument for the "real and present importance" of immortality.
