    Dynamic Early 20th Century Evangelist Portrait

    $19.95

    This photograph captures Billy Sunday, a prominent American evangelist and former professional baseball player, during the early 20th century. Sunday gained national fame for his energetic preaching style, which drew thousands to his revivals. Born in 1862 in Iowa, he transitioned from a baseball player, notably with the Chicago White Stockings, to a fiery preacher who became a key figure in the fundamentalist movement during the late 1890s and early 1900s. His sermons often tackled social issues of the time, including Prohibition, which he staunchly supported.

    Sundays influence extended beyond the pulpit; he was a cultural phenomenon who made headlines with his dynamic presence and dramatic flair. His revivals not only attracted large crowds but also shaped the landscape of American evangelicalism. The photograph, likely captured by the Bain News Service, serves as a historical artifact that reflects his public persona during a period when revivalism was a significant aspect of American life. As you look at this image, consider how figures like Sunday left an indelible mark on both religious practice and American society.
