Perhaps the greatest American evangelist of the nineteenth century, Dwight L. Moody inspired millions with his sermons. Although a century and a half separates us from his impassioned explications of the Bible, MoodyтАЩs ardor rings with overtones of todayтАЩs fundamentalist Christianity and can offer critical clues to understanding the orthodox religious outlook still dramatically influencing our culture in the twenty-first century.
Moody explains why Christians believe that the Bible is invariably correct (тАЬNone of the other religious volumes, like the Koran, that claim a divine origin, agree with common sense.тАЭ); who resides in heaven (тАЬThe inhabitants of Heaven will be select.тАЭ); and that they are set apart from the larger culture (тАЬWe must go against the current of this world.тАЭ); and more.

Dwight Lyman Moody (1837тАУ1899), American evangelist, was born in New England, the child of a large working-class family. A religious conversion as an adult led him to found a ministry in Chicago, to work as a battlefield missionary during the Civil War, and eventually to lead massive evangelical crusades during the 1870s and 1880s in both England and the United States. He founded Christian schools and a Christian publishing house, which published his many nondenominational evangelical tracts.
