A succinct yet comprehensive overview of the evangelical movement beginning with its founding members and tracing through to its modern leaders. Much of this was familiar to me, and so I did not read every word. I had forgotten about Fuller's radio program, and I don't recall knowing that Ockenga was a proponent of the second blessing. I find myself identifying with the intellectual curiously and hunger of the evangelical movement's founders.
I value what this book offers, and it would be a great introduction to folks who are unfamiliar with the origins of this movement. I would think this would be an excellent undergrad textbook.

I am nuts about books. I read on all kinds of topics. I attempt to review each book I read for the sake of my own enrichment as well as conversation starters with others.
