Turn the Pulpit Loose - Two Centuries of American Women Evangelists (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2090)

"Turn the Pulpit Loose" features the lives and words of eighteen women evangelists including Sojourner Truth and Evangeline Booth, and lesser-known figures such as Jarena Lee (an African Methodist from the early 1800s) and Uldine Utley (a child evangelist in the early 1900s) who helped to shape American religious life from the nation's infancy to the present. Highlighting substantial primary sources - sermons, articles, diaries, letters, speeches, and autobiographies - Priscilla Pope-Levison weaves together fascinating narratives of each woman's life: her conversion and calling to preach, her primary evangelistic method, and her reflections about women in general. This anthology, complete with photographs of each evangelist, is an indispensable resource for a wide range of academic fields, including religion, history, women's studies, and literature.
