Staggers, Kermit LeMoyne, II. "Reuben A. Torrey: American Fundamentalist, 1856-1928," Claremont Graduate University, January 1986. Advisor: John Niven (11, 16)
This dissertation reconstructs the life of the Reverend Reuben A. Torrey, a worldwide evangelist who served as the first superintendent of the Moody Bible Institute and as a dean at the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, and who wrote nearly forty books. The research relies upon his published works and letters located at the Bible institutes he served. Focusing attention on Torrey’s life leads to clearer insights about religious fundamentalism while at the same time demonstrating that the movement had roots within the mainstream of American history.
