At the end of the nineteenth century, Augustus Strong emerged as one of the most influential church leaders and theologians in America. But, as Grant Wacker reveals in this masterful study, Strong also proved to be as tragic a figure as he was influential.

Trade Review
"A powerful piece of historical writing that commands the attention of evangelical historians." Steven R. Pointer, Fides Et Historia
"An important historical corrective...Strongs story is told here as an intellectual biography in a Lovejoyan mode...The material is so interesting that we want more." James D. Bratt, Journal of the American Academy of Religion
"In this lucid analysis and commentary Wacker sheds light on one of the basic problems that has vexed American religion for the past century...This solid, instructive book moves beyond its specific setting to point up issues which thoughtful personshistorians, theologians, and interested nonspecialists alikestill try to resolve." Henry Warner Bowden, Church History
