A BREAK-THROUGH in modern biblical scholarship
They Called Him Mister Moody By Richard K. Curtis A new biography of Moody calls for some justification. Some forty works on him and his work have appeared to date, according to the bib liography in this one, and there doubtless are many more. The author observes that several operations go into the making of a. biography: the col lection of facts, the selection of those to be used, their arrangement of them and interpretation. Beyond all of this is the artistry of diction, and Dr. Cur tis has written delightfully. A good many people aided the au thor in gathering material for this work. The seriousness of the venture will be recognized from the fact that much of the work was done as a Ph.D. project at Purdue University. The au thor’s bibliographies and indexes are valuable in themselves. In addition to the early life and the ministry of Mr. Moody, his in fluence upon his contemporaries and his continuing influence are explored extensively. Moody’s language was picturesque and many stories are re counted of things he said and did. Dr. Curtis’s delineation of him is also picturesque, as may be seen from his statement, “Moody’s double-barreled messages pumped the lead of convic tion with one side and love with the other” (p. 266). The author is Chair man of the Department of Speech at Bethel College in St. Paul. 378 pag es; cloth; Doubleday & Co., New York- $4.95.
