Walter Maier.

WALTER A. MAIER (1893-1950) Walter Maier held a doctorate in philosophy from Harvard and taught at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, but is best known for his worldwide radio broadcast, Bringing Christ To the Nations. He was heard in over 120 nations and by over twenty million souls. He was a Lutheran at a time when his denomination was denying the old time religion. He stood true, extolling the reliability of Scripture and man's need for the sacrifice of Christ.  His preaching was inspiring and direct.  Early in his ministry he won the Billings Prize in Oratory and used all of the rhetorical tools of the good communicator.  Billy Graham called him the greatest evangelist of the 20th century.  In the face of harsh opposition, he never dipped his colors or compromised his principles.
