2015 Smith/Wynkoop Book Award presented by the Wesleyan Theological
Society 2014 Choice Outstanding Academic Title During the
Progessive Era, a period of unprecedented ingenuity, women
evangelists built the old time religion with brick and mortar,
uniforms and automobiles, fresh converts and devoted proteges.
Across America, entrepreneurial women founded churches,
denominations, religious training schools, rescue homes, rescue
missions, and evangelistic organizations. Until now, these intrepid
women have gone largely unnoticed, though their collective yet
unchoreographed decision to build institutions in the service of
evangelism marked a seismic shift in American Christianity. In this
ground-breaking study, Priscilla Pope-Levison dusts off the
unpublished letters, diaries, sermons, and yearbooks of these
pioneers to share their personal tribulations and public
achievements. The effect is staggering. With an uncanny eye for
essential details and a knack for historical nuance, Pope-Levison
breathes life into not just one or two of these women-but two
dozen.
