Description

Hangen traces the careers of three of the most successful Protestant radio evangelists--Paul Rader, Aimee Semple McPherson, and Charles Fuller--and examines the strategies they used to bring their messages to listeners across the nation, transforming American radio evangelism from an on-air novelty in the 1920s into a profitable and wide-reaching industry by the 1950s.
