  • "This book is a portrait of a golden-tongued evangelist who lives a life of hypocrisy, sensuality, and self-indulgence. It is also the chronicle of a reign of vulgarity, which but for Lewis would have left no record of itself. - Publisher."@en
  • "V roce 1927 poprvé vydaná vtipná i příkrá satira na americké církve, kterým bůh není ničím jiným než prostředkem k naprosto bezbožnému obchodování. V titulním hrdinovi románu, knězi, jenž si neodřekne žádnou z radostí světa a bezohledně jde za mocí a slávou, je vedle "obchodníka bohem" postiženo kariérnictví vůbec."

  • "Possibly the best student of hypocrisy since Voltaire. This portrait of a golden-tongued evangelist, who lives a life of hypocrisy, sensuality, and self-indulgence, is also the chronicle of a reign of vulgarity, which but for Lewis would have left no record of itself."@en
  • "Román je vtipnou anatomií náboženského fanatismu a pokrytectví americké společnosti dvacátých let. S hrdinou Elmerem Gantrym, životamilovným kandidátem kněžství a posléze knězem prožíváme jeho "obrácení", četnámilostnádobrodružství a zejména nezdolné proklesťování cesty za mocí a slávou bez jakýchkoli duchovních aspirací."
  • "Elmer Gantry is one of the Sinclair Lewis's most famous novels. Considered scandalous in its day, it is a vicious satire of preachers and those they fool. Gantry has no redeeming features but is seen by the gullible public as a man who speaks the truth about God. Of course he could just as easily have been a lawyer or a politician and the heart of Lewis's satire is how easily people believe what they want to believe. Perhaps nowadays it is better known for the film of the same name which starred Burt Lancaster and won three Academy Awards. However the book is much more biting than the film and provides a fascinating picture both of the man and the times he would have lived in."@en
  • "High pressure evangelism's effect on title character."
  • "One man's fervent pursuit of wealth and power leads him to religion for profit in the evangelist tents of the 1920s Midwestern Corn Belt."@en
  • "This a portrait of a golden-tongued evangelist who rises to power within the church--a saver of soulswho lives a life of hypocrisy, sensuality, and ruthless self-indulgence--is also the record of a period, a reign of grotesque vulgarity, which but for lewis would have left no record of itself."
