Kathryn Kuhlman (1907-1976) was an American Christian evangelist and healing minister who was known for her powerful and emotional revival meetings. Born in Missouri, Kuhlman was raised in a religious family and showed an early interest in spirituality and evangelism. In the mid-20th century, she became a prominent voice in the Pentecostal and Charismatic movements and was known for her dramatic and often theatrical revival meetings, which drew thousands of people from across the country.
Kuhlman's revival meetings were characterized by emotional outbursts, spontaneous healing, and an emphasis on the power of the Holy Spirit. Despite her success, Kuhlman remained controversial, with some praising her for her powerful ministry and others criticizing her for her theatricality and showmanship. Despite this, she remained a beloved figure in the Christian community and continued to preach and teach until her death in 1976. Today, Kuhlman is remembered as one of the most influential and powerful voices in the modern healing revival, and her revival meetings are considered some of the most significant events of the 20th century.
