Introduction: Johann Kargel and the evangelical world The shaping of a Baptist leader (1849-1874) ; First Saint Petersburg period : exposed to evangelicalism (1875-1880) ; Bulgarian period : released from spiritual narrowness (1880-1884) ; Second Saint Petersburg period : part of the Pashkovite Circle (1884-1887) ; Reaching the Russian empire (1887-1898) ; Third Saint Petersburg period : Evangelical Christian endeavors (1898-1909) ; Teaching on the sanctified life Kargel as a spiritual guide Conclusion.

Summary: Today, many evangelicals in the Russian-speaking world emphasize sanctification as a distinctive mark of their Christian faith. This is a unique characteristic, particularly in the European context. Their historic tapestry has been woven from a number of threads that originated in the second half of the nineteenth century. Missionary efforts of the German Baptists, a revival sparked by a British evangelist, and a pietistic awakening among the Mennonites in the South converged to form a tapestry that displays Protestant, Baptist, and Anabaptist heritage. Ivan Kargel uniquely participated in the formation and ministry of each of these threads. His life spans from Tsarist Russia to the Soviet Union. Kargel refused to adhere to a systematic view of theology. Instead, he urged believers to go to Scripture and draw from the riches of a life united with Christ. Kargel's influence today is keenly felt across the Russian-speaking evangelical world as they seek to identify the roots of their spiritual identity. This book examines the influences on Ivan Kargel and offers insights into how his life and work are expressed in the tapestry of Russian evangelical spirituality.
