Dwight Lyman Moody, also known as D. L. Moody, was a prominent American evangelist and publisher associated with Keswickianism. He established various institutions, such as the Moody Church, Northfield School, Mount Hermon School (now Northfield Mount Hermon School), Moody Bible Institute, and Moody Publishers. Moody transitioned from a successful boot and shoe business to focus on revivalism. He actively supported Union troops during the Civil War through his involvement with the YMCA. Moody’s engaging speaking style, often paired with singer Ira Sankey, attracted large audiences in both the United States and the British Isles.
