Abstract

The article discusses two books, "Altar Call in Europe" by Uta Balbier and "Race for Revival" by Helen Jin Kim, which explore the transnational exchanges of religious practices and ideas in twentieth-century American evangelicalism. Balbier focuses on Billy Graham's crusades in Europe, while Kim delves into the relationship between South Korean and American evangelicals. Both books highlight the complex intersections of religion, politics, and culture, shedding light on how evangelicalism evolved in different global contexts. The authors offer valuable insights into the historical ties between faith, power, and identity, providing a nuanced understanding of evangelical movements in a changing world.
