Marshall Keeble (1878-1968) stands as one of the Church of Christ's
most influential and celebrated African American evangelists. His
impact was felt throughout the South and well beyond as he helped
establish over two hundred churches and baptized approximately
forty thousand individuals during his nearly seventy years of
ministry. His charismatic and dynamic speaking style earned him a
devoted following. Despite his impact on the religious culture of
the South, there has been scant information available about this
extraordinary individual-until now. Edward J. Robinson brings to
light over forty years of Keeble's writings. This collection shows
the human side of Keeble, revealing his concern for the souls of
his faithful followers and the pragmatic way in which he ran his
ministry. The sermons and other writings give great insight into
the struggles of a prominent African American trying to navigate
his way through the challenges of conducting his ministry in the
segregated world of the Jim Crow South. Robinson draws on a variety
of sources in which Keeble was published, including the Gospel
Advocate and the Christian Echo, as well as lectures Keeble gave to
students at Abilene Christian College. Through these pages, the
reader will learn more about this articulate, passionate, and
intelligent man. A Godsend to His People is the first scholarly
treatment of this evangelist and will appeal to those interested in
the history of the Church of Christ and religious studies.
