Through Dwight L. Moody, the kind of literalism or rather the Biblical inerrancy that had developed at the Princeton Theological Seminary became more widespread in America though as Fitzgerald points out it’s not that Moody was transmitting that specifically. I think this is just part of the kind of milieu American Christianity was swimming in as a response to higher criticism and the theory of evolution, the importation of non-Protestant groups in the United States, the desire for their Christianity being able to respond to the massive changes that were happening in America, and the conversations clergymen were having with each other at these Biblical seminars.
