Billy Sunday And The Redemption Of Urban America
The most colorful of the tent and tabernacle revivalists, preaching to over 100 million people from 1908 to 1920, Billy Sunday stands as one of the most sig-nificant mass evangelists of the 20th century. Lyle Dorsett makes a fresh and
original contribution to our understanding of this pugnacious baseball player-turned- preacher with his use of the Sunday family papers.
In this new paperback edition Dorsett provides a new foreword to his classic work on the famed evangelist.
"Dorsett makes Billy Sunday come alive as a complex person, not a cardboard caricature. He notes the flaws, but despite all of Sunday's agonies and insecuri-ties, Dorsett likes the man, and the result is a new awareness of the private complexity of a public celebrity."
