Do not be deceived by the attractiveness of this world. It will cheat
you and destroy you. -from "Warning" Perhaps the greatest American
evangelist of the 19th century, Dwight Moody inspired millions with his
sermons. And though more than a century separates us from his fiery
defense of the Bible, Moody's words reflect an orthodox religious
outlook similar to the fundamentalist Christianity that is dramatically
influencing our culture in the 21st century. With unwavering certainty,
Moody discusses: . what aspects of the Bible "no infidel or skeptic will
dare to deny" . the danger of "false teachers" . why Christianity is not
responsible for hypocritical Christians . examples from history that
prove the truth of the Bible . and more. Also available from Cosimo
Classics: Moody's The Way to God and Heaven: How to Get There. American
evangelist DWIGHT LYMAN MOODY (1837-1899) 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 80s in both England and the
United States. He found Christian schools and a Christian publishing
house, which published his many nondenominational evangelical tracts.
