This copy of “Soul-Winning Doctrines” by J. Clyde Turner is a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 20th-century evangelism and Christian outreach. Published in the midst of the modernist-fundamentalist controversy that roiled American Protestantism, Turner’s work offers a window into the theological debates and soul-winning strategies of the fundamentalist movement. As a prominent Baptist minister and author, Turner was a vocal advocate for a return to traditional doctrines and aggressive evangelization efforts. This book would have served as a rallying cry for fundamentalists seeking to stem the tide of modernist theology and revive a more ardent, evangelistic form of Christianity.
While bearing the marks of its former life as a library book, this copy remains in good condition, with clean pages and a sturdy binding. For collectors interested in the history of American fundamentalism or the development of modern evangelicalism, this volume represents an important primary source. Readers drawn to the passionate rhetoric and uncompromising stances of the fundamentalist movement will find Turner’s work both illuminating and provocative.
