1800’s – A Century of Christian Missions
Early 20th Century
Evangelists, Missionaries, Teachers, & Authors
|1847-1906 |Sam Jones |“The DL Moody of the South” |Drunken lawyer turned evangelist. Helped heal, re-unite North & South after Civil War. Built & preached in Ryman |
| | | |Auditorium in Nashville, later home to Grand Ole Opry. |
|1847-1917 |Oswald Chambers |Scottish Bible teacher |Noted for his intense spiritual lectures to soldiers stationed in Egypt which formed the basis for his many books & his |
| | | |famous devotional, My Utmost for His Highest |
|1843-1921 |C.I. Scofield |Authored 1st ‘Study Bible” |Former lawyer, with no theological training, popularized Darby’s ultra-dispensational teaching by editing a KJV Bible via|
| | | |“study notes”: Scofield Reference Bible. Through his audacity in placing his personal ideas on the same sacred pages as |
| | | |Peter & Paul, this was a violation of the policy of all well known Bible societies, whose rules have been: "Without Note |
| | | |or Comment." Suddenly, Bible novices became “experts” based on one man’s view of Scripture. |
|1851-1921 |B.B. Warfield |Conservative American theologian |Wrote classical fundamental treatise The Inspiration and Authority of the Bible. No liberal has been able to refute his |
| | | |arguments. |
|1860-1947 |“Gipsy” Smith |Beloved English Evangelist |No formal education, but people of all denominations loved this former gypsy. His power lay in his intimate daily walk |
| | | |with Christ and his genuine love for the souls of men. |
|1863-1935 |Billy Sunday |“The Baseball Preacher” |Pro baseball player turned popular evangelist. Promoted salvation &temperance--“prohibition” Let's quit fiddling with |
| | | |religion and do something to bring the world to Christ. I'm against sin. I'll kick it as long as I've got a foot, and |
| | | |I'll fight it as long as I've got a fist. I'll butt it as long as I've got a head. I'll bite it as long as I've got a |
| | | |tooth. And when I'm old and fistless and footless and toothless, I'll gum it till I go home to Glory and it goes home to |
| | | |perdition! |
|1863-1945 |G. Campbell Morgan |Prince of English Expositors |At the young age of 13, he preached his first sermon. He had no formal training for the ministry to speak of but his |
| | | |relentless devotion for the studying of the Bible made him one of the leading Bible teachers in his day. Unusual ability |
| | | |to expound (explain) the Scriptures |
|1871-1952 |L. Sperry Chafer |Founder of Dallas Theological Seminary |Presbyterian/Congregationalist background. Student of C.I. Scofield. Desire for an independent fundamental Bible college |
| | |(1924) |to train ministers to combat liberalism. Thought Dispensational Premillennialism was the intellectual grid for |
| | | |interpreting the Bible; along with a mild Keswick holiness emphasis on two works of grace in the believer's life (as well|
| | |Preach the Word! |as the distinction between obedient and fleshly Christians as spiritual states) Considered the Old Testament less |
| | | |important than the New Testament. |
|1927-1956 |Jim Elliot |Missionary to Indians of Ecuador (Martyred)|Best known missionary of 20th century. He & 4 college friends tried to befriend the treacherous Auca Indians. He is no |
| | | |fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose. After 6 years, killed by the Indians he served. But God |
| | | |used it for victory -read Shadow of the Almighty. |
|1918- |Billy Graham |Ecumenical Evangelist |Well known fundamental Neo-Evangelical known for large stadium crusades and as an advisor to U.S. Presidents. In 1957, |
| | |America’s Pastor |announced “inclusive policy” (inviting unbelieving liberals, to be involved in crusade leadership). His longstanding |
| | | |policy of “pragmatism”*: ecumenical alliance with the Catholic Church, liberal denominations, and other Non-Christian |
| | | |groups is seen by some to be confusing to believers & non-believers in regard to the “true gospel”. |
