This world that so many think is heaven is the home of sin, a hospital of sorrow, a place with little or nothing in it to gratify the soul. -from "Heaven: Its Anticipation" Perhaps the most significant American evangelist of the 19th century, Dwight Moody encouraged millions along with his sermons. And even though greater than a century separates us from his impassioned explications of the Bible, Moody's ardor rings with overtones of today's fundamentalist Christianity...and may offer critical signs to understanding the orthodox religious outlook still dramatically influencing our culture in the 21st century. Moody explains why Christians believe that: . that the Bible is invariably appropriate ("None of the other religious volumes, like the Koran, that lay claim a divine source, agree with good sense") . who resides in heaven ("The inhabitants of Heaven will be select") . that they are set apart from the larger culture ("We must go against the current of this world") . and much more.

American evangelist DWIGHT LYMAN MOODY (1837-1899) was born in New Great britain, the child of a large working-class family. A religious conversion as a grown-up led him to found a ministry in Chicago, to are a battlefield missionary during the Civil War, and eventually to lead substantial evangelical crusades during the 1870s and 80s in both Great britain and america. He found Religious classes and a Religious posting house, which published his many nondenominational evangelical tracts.
