The Chicago Revival, 1876 by Darrel M Robertson
This book examines Dwight L. Moody's and Ira D. Sankey's revival in Chicago in 1876. Robertson shows that Chicago in the 1870s was beset by serious economic, political, and social turmoil, reflecting deep-seated ethnic and cultural antipathies. The author uses a statistical analysis of new church members, a content analysis of sermons, and a careful examination of the social and historical data about Chicago to create a fresh interpretation of the social impact and significance of an urban revival.
..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' judgments... -- Philip Dean Jordan * Journal of American History *
...well-written...Recommended...Especially important for regional collections. -- Betty A. DeBerg * Religious Studies Review *
...a model of the fundamental kind of research with which all historical analysis should begin...Besides this immersion in the primary sources, Robertson also mastered the secondary literature...a masterful study, one which ought to inform anyone who studies or works for revival. * FIDES ET HISTORIA *
A deceptively modest-looking study, this work offers an important and revealing glimpse of the development of the American urban revival. * The Christian Century *
