Sister Aimee's Travelin' Salvation Show: Part 2

The conclusion of a two-part series about one of the most famous women evangelists in the early 20th century; Aimee Semple McPherson. Even though she spent many of her formative years in the Foursquare denomination, Em knew little to nothing about its founder. After pouring over biographies, newspaper articles and photo archives she wove together a narrative that proves opposing truths can be held in tension, while stumbling upon some of the earliest rumblings of modern Christian Nationalism.  Work Cited  Epstein, Daniel Mark (1993) Sister Aimee: The Life of Aimee Semple McPherson, Harcourt Brace & Co.
