'From the Publisher:' Douglas Kelly here reintroduces one of the richest periods of evangelical history, spanning the years 1791-1902, and captures its ethos in the lives of four of its most influential men: Daniel Baker, missionary and itinerant evangelist; J. H. Thornwell, best remembered as a preacher 'wrapt in wonder at the love, humiliation and condescension of the Trinity'; Benjamin M. Palmer, who 'got the heart as well as the ear of New Orleans'; and John L. Girardeau, 'the Spurgeon of America', who was so remarkably used among the black people of South Carolina. 224 pgs
