"One cannot overestimate the importance of the ministry of Asahel Nettleton. Francis Wayland, founder of Brown University, said of Nettleton, "I suppose no minister of his time was the means of so many conversions." Most surprising to modern readers is the discovery that Nettleton's tremendous effectiveness occurred without any of the methods that modern evangelicals think are so essential in evangelism. For example, in all his ministry, thousands came to a solid, lasting faith in Christ though Nettleton never once gave an "altar call." In fact, one of the greatest struggles in Nettleton's life occurred as he led the stand against such "new measures" employed by Finney."From Ashel Nettleton: A Forgotten Evangelist
