Title: Mormonism Under the Searchlight
Description: Grand Rapids, MI: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1947. 1st Edition Thus; 1st Printing. Pamphlet. B&W Illustrations; Apparently this is a reprint of an article that was published in Glad Tidings Publ. This is a small trade sized pamphlet with cardstock covers and a stapled spine. The pamphlet is in Very Good- to Near Very Good condition and was issued without a dust jacket. The front cover of the pamphlet has a tear to the top edge that has been repaired. The front cover of the book has pulled away from the staples leaving two small rectangular holes. The text pages are clean, but noticeably toned due to the acid content of the paper used, especially the pages at either end of the text. "William Edward Biederwolf (September 29, 1867 – September 3, 1939) was an American Presbyterian evangelist...In his early years, at least, Biederwolf was not above using parades, athletic feats, and magic tricks to win over audiences. Also like his colleagues, Biederwolf gave sermons on "booze," motherhood, and purity (though, as was typical of the period, the latter was given to men only). Later Biederwolf winced at evangelists who had promotional photographs taken of themselves in ridiculous poses, admitting that although he himself had "been foolishly guilty with his brethren," he had "put away the things of a fool." While Biederwolf stressed the significance of the Holy Spirit in producing conversions, he also did not shy away from noting the importance of the evangelist’s "personal magnetism." ". Very Good- .
