First sentence: Two decades ago Grant Wacker described the now-strange world of late-Victorian evangelicalism at one of its representative moments: the 1887 meeting of the Evangelical Alliance.
Description: Robins' biography of Tomlinson recreates the world in which he operated, and through his story offers a reinterpretation of the origins of Pentecostalism, and sheds new light on the roots of some of the 20th century's most vigorous popular religious movements.
