The Canvas Cathedral: Billy Graham's Ministry Seen Through the History of Evangelism
Lewis A. Drummond
Retail Price: $34.99
CBD Price: $4.99
( In Stock )
Excerpt
During Billy Graham's sixty-year ministry as an international evangelist, he has shared the gospel of Jesus Christ with more than 210 million people at crusades and through radio, television, and satellite broadcasts--arguably more than any evangelist in history. Millions of Christians around the world attribute their conversion to his influence, and an entire generation of preachers has looked to him and his organization for both training and example.Considering Billy Graham's overwhelming impact on contemporary evangelicalism, it is surprising to note that his ministry's contributions to the church and the kingdom of God have never been evaluated in the context of church history. In this book, evangelism scholar Lewis Drummond provides this long-awaited study by investigating in depth Graham's method of evangelism in the broader context of biblical and evangelical church history. Drummond examines Graham's ministry from the historical perspective. His thorough research--drawing on a wealth of contemporary and historical records, interviews with friends, family and associates. Graham's sermons and books, and his own extensive understanding of evangelical history--offers a comprehensive evaluation of the integrity, historical authenticity, and genuine impact of the Billy Graham phenomenon.

For over a thousand years, Macy says, ordination was a rather fluid concept, whereby one moved to any new ministry in the church; women participated freely in some.
