The Chicago Revival, 1876: Society and Revivalism in a Nineteenth-Century City

By Darrel M. Robertson

Examines Dwight L. Moody's and Ira D. Sankey's revival in Chicago in 1876. A deceptively modest-looking study, this work offers an important and revealing glimpse of the development of the American urban revival.--CHRISTIAN CENTURY ...goes beyond James F. Findlay's more cursory coverage...to recover a much-neglected aspect of Chicago's religious history...case studies add a specificity to Robertson's argument...substantiates other scholars' judgements...--JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY
