Download or read book God s Man for the Gilded Age written by Bruce J. Evensen and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-09-25 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At his death on the eve of the 20th century, D.L. Moody was widely recognized as one of the most beloved and important of men in 19th-century America. A Chicago shoe salesman with a fourth grade education, Moody rose from obscurity to become God's man for the Gilded Age. He was the Billy Graham of his day--indeed it could be said that Moody invented the system of evangelism that Graham inherited and perfected. Bruce J. Evensen focuses on the pivotal years during which Moody established his reputation on both sides of the Atlantic through a series of highly popular and publicized campaigns. In four short years Moody forged the bond between revivalism and the mass media that persists to this day. Beginning in Britain in 1873 and extending across America's urban landscape, first in Brooklyn and then in Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, and Boston, Moody used the power of prayer and publicity to stage citywide crusades that became civic spectacles. Modern newspapers, in the grip of economic depression, needed a story to stimulate circulation and found it in Moody's momentous mission. The evangelist and the press used one another in creating a sense of civic excitement that manufactured the largest crowds in municipal history. Critics claimed this machinery of revival was man-made. Moody's view was that he'd rather advertise than preach to empty pews. He brought a businessman's common sense to revival work and became, much against his will, a celebrity evangelist. The press in city after city made him the star of the show and helped transform his religious stage into a communal entertainment of unprecedented proportions. In chronicling Moody's use of the press and their use of him, Evensen sheds new light on a crucial chapter in the history of evangelicalism and demonstrates how popular religion helped form our modern media culture.

Download or read book Daniel Man of God written by Dwight L. Moody and published by LIFE SENTENCE Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-01 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Original Title: Daniel the Prophet. New, updated edition. Riches and honour and life are the remuneration of humility and of the fear of the LORD. – Proverbs 22:4 God will exalt us when the time is right. We needn't try to promote ourselves; we needn't struggle for position. Let God put us where He wants us and let us be true to God. It is better for a man to be right with God, even if he holds no great earthly position. It is honest and humble men whom God will promote, if He so desires. This study illustrates what Daniel did, and also what Daniel didn't do, which caught the attention of God and kings alike. Few are the men in history of Daniel's caliber, even though the principles he followed can be implemented by all. Are you ready to be a truly great man, one that will cause God and men to take notice?

Download or read book Modern Revivalism written by William G. McLoughlin and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2004-10-28 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with religious revivalism in the United States since 1825. It attempts to explain the part which revivalism has played, and is playing today, in the social, intellectual, and religious life of America. The aim has been, in describing the development of modern revivalism and the men who devoted their lives to it, to look below the surface phenomenon in an effort to discover why revivals have constantly recurred, what their effects have been, and what they meant not only to those directly concerned but to all Americans. If the revivals of the past century and a quarter have not always been the crucial factors in the course of American history that their devout exponents claimed, they have nevertheless been more significant than the social historians have yet acknowledged. from the Preface

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume introduces researchers to the leaders, ideas, and institutions of the Keswick Movement, a strand of holiness teaching that was embraced by many evangelicals who came from the more Calvinistic wing of Protestantism, especially Anglicans, Baptists, Congregationalists, and Presbyterians. The Keswick Movement is the most difficult of the three main holiness traditions to delineate. Unlike the Wesleyan Holiness and Holiness Pentecostal traditions, the Keswick Movement has not gone through a definitive period of careful theological refining and institutional boundary setting.

Download or read book They Called Him Mister Moody written by Richard Kenneth Curtis and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dwight Lyman Moody was a great American original who exerted an enormous influence on the tone of life of the United States and Great Britain in the second half of the last century. He belongs to the authentic line of American evangelists with Jonathan Edwards and Charles Grandison Finney as his predecessors. He is unlike them in his lack of formal education and in his organizing ability and financial skills. Born in 1837, the son of a brick-layer, Moody was but four when his father died leaving a widow with six children to care for and twins arriving shortly. With only six years of schooling, Moody showed no sign of promise until he left for Boston in his teens and became a phenomenally successful shoe salesman. At this point all his varied talents took direction as he experienced a Christian conversion. Moving almost at once to Chicago, his organizing, teaching, and visiting in Christian service took so much of his time that he eventually made it his life's work. Revival campaigns conducted in the larger cities of the United States and Britain, at first in the face of apathy and opposition, were his dominant form of activity, but they by no means exhausted his energies. He raised millions of dollars for the YMCA and more relief of the suffering following the Chicago fire and the War Between the States. He founded the Northfield Schools (now the largest private secondary school system in the United States) and the Moody Bible Institute. The Moody Press and bookstores are the result of his work, and he gave much of the initial guiding impetus to the Student Volunteer Movement -- which sent no less than 10,000 missionaries overseas in its first twenty-five years. Amongst the thousands of men and women on whose lives he had a decisive influence were Henry Drummond, George Adam Smith, and John R. Mott, as well as R. A. Torry and F. B. Meyer, and missionaries like the Studd brothers and Wilfred Grenfell. Based on original research and interviews with those who remember Moody, They Called Him Mr. Moody is a biography of a colorful and unconventional man whose unquestioned integrity, warm understanding, and native ability gave him an enormous influence and a permanent place in the history of his time."--Publisher's description.
