by William R. (William Revell) Moody, Henry Davenport Northrop
About the author
Born in Chicago in 1869, William Revell Moody was the elder son of Dwight L. Moody. He studied at Mount Hermon School and graduated from Yale in 1891, later becoming closely involved with the schools and conferences his father founded in Northfield, Massachusetts.
After D. L. Moody's death in 1899, he took on a major role in managing both the Northfield schools and the conferences, and in 1912 he became president of the Northfield Schools. He was also an editor and religious writer, and his best-known work is his biography of his father, first published in 1900 and later revised as D. L. Moody in 1930.
He died in 1933. Today, he is remembered less as a public figure in his own right than as a careful steward of his father's legacy and as a firsthand witness to the educational and revival work centered at Northfield.
