Timothy Gloege

BIO:

Timothy Gloege is an independent scholar and historian who writes, and occasionally teaches, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Notre Dame. He has written essays for Church History: A Journal of Interpretation, the Journal of Religion and American Culture, and elsewhere. His first book, Guaranteed Pure: The Moody Bible Institute, Business, and the Making of Modern Evangelicalism (University of North Carolina Press, 2015), examines the intersection of evangelicalism and modern business practice in the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. He also has a more-than-passing interest in digital history, with a special interest in how historical data is stored, organized, linked, and manipulated.

Tim is currently working on a biography of the important, but idiosyncratic, fundamentalist revivalist and educator Reuben A. Torrey. A second project will retell the longer story of the fundamentalist-modernist battles from a modernist point of view. How, and why, did these groups—some of whom were allied into the mid-1890s—become such avowed opponents in the 1910s and 1920s?
