Revivalists: Marketing the Gospel in English Canada, 1884-1957The history of religious change has been largely devoted to study of the churches. Revivalists focuses on evangelists, singling out several significant entrepreneurs - Hugh Crossley and John Hunter, active from 1880 to 1910; Oswald J. Smith, who built his independent Toronto church into a popular evangelistic emporium; Frank Buchman and the Oxford Group, who appealed to the upper classes in the 1930s; and Charles Templeton, who enjoyed two careers as a revivalist. Kee shows that by adjusting their methods to the cultural forms of the day, these evangelists contributed to the vitality of Canadian Protestantism. |

The evangelists' use of contemporary cultural forms for religious purposes is one of the untold stories of Canadian religious history. From our vantage point, we tend to think of religion as static and set apart from the world.
