Drominent historians have called DL Moody one of the most influential religious figures in America in the last quarter of the 19th century who conducted some of the most successful urban evangelism campaigns of his day

Moody was a uniquely American figure whose influence continues to be felt throughout the landscape of North American Christianity today Bible students continue to be trained in the theological tradition out of which Moody came, and his name is associated with everything from radio stations to national pastor's conferences.

But what did he believe? What was Moody's theology? What were the implicit ideas that caused him to preach as he did, to approach evangelism as he did? Was Moody a Calvinist? Did he speak in tongues? Did Moody have a good understanding of the Christian faith, or did he have a theology of convenience designed to attract crowds and win converts?

In this important book, Dr. Gundry answers these and other questions. Gundry brings D. L. Moody clearly into focus, and he allows him to speak for himself throughout the pages. He also moves to the heart of Moody's theology-his understanding of the Gospel and how it is received. Written in a fast-paced and clear style, here is a fascinating historical and theological study of one of the key figures from the tradition of American revivalism.
