Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Possibly the best student of hypocrisy since Voltaire

This portrait of a golden-tongued evangelist-who lives a life of hypocrisy, sensuality, and self-indulgence-is also the chronicle of a reign of vulgarity, which but for Lewis would have left no record of itself.

Synopsis:

The portrait of an evangelist who rises to power within his church.
