Christ for the Crisis' evangelist

Title

Christ for the Crisis' evangelist

Description

Black and white image of a man on a stage expounding from an open bible. A number of other men on stage behind him are following along, and a couple of women look on. The banner at the back of the stage is not entirely visible, but appears to read 'Christ for the Crisis,' possibly referring to a group in the 1940s and 1950s that was conducting revivals focusing on the fulfillment of biblical prophecy and the perceived threat of communist Russia and the Iron Curtain to Western democracies.
