In this week's episode of The Missions Podcast, Scott sits down with Gregg Quiggle, retired professor of Church History at Moody Bible Institute to talk about this critical figure in modern evangelicalism.

Currently, he runs a Christian History travel company, Quotelos Travel. He has recently released a biography on D.L. Moody titled, "Bread and Bibles". Gregg lives in Wheaton, Illinois.
