Billy Sunday

This was a collection of sermons by 1920's pro baseball player turned evangelist, Billy Sunday. He was known as much for his "performances" as he was for his message--which was focused on the evils of alcohol. It would seem that Sunday's sermons were confrontational and filled with vivid language that brought up vivid imaginings. If you are looking for something deep or heavy theology, you won't get it in this book. Many of his sermons are repetitive with almost the same language. I didn't show more really read this book for the theology or a religious experience, but read it to become more familiar with the 1920's reform movements. I was trying to see if there was any connection to John Scopes and the famous "Monkey" trial, but found none. 192 pages show less
