| Zusammenfassung: | The pivotal role Henrietta Mears (1890-1963) played in shaping the contours of neo-evangelicalism has been attributed to her efforts in building the largest Presbyterian Sunday school in the country, two successful publishing firms, a major interdenominational conference center, and numerous other achievements. Missing from this narrative arc is a detailed analysis of her tragic, formative years on the northern plains, which caused young Mears to search for the security and certainty she ultimately found in the Christian faith—a fierce and boundless faith that led to the accomplishments for which she is remembered more than fifty years after her death. |
