Om författaren
Reuben Archer Torrey (1856–1928), more often known as R. A. Torrey, was an American evangelist, pastor, educator, and writer. Torrey graduated from Yale University and Yale Divinity School. After a period of skepticism, he embraced evangelical Christianity and became a powerful preacher, eventually serving as a superintendent for the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and later as pastor of the Moody Church. His extensive career in evangelism led him to travel the world, preaching in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Britain, and China. Torrey’s literary contributions left a significant impact, particularly in Christian fundamentalism, where he was an ardent defender of Biblical inerrancy. One of his notable works, ’The Fundamental Doctrines of the Christian Faith’ (1918), distills essential Biblical doctrines into an accessible format, affirming the conservative theological positions that characterized the fundamentalist movement of his time. Moreover, his writings are characterized by a straightforward, clear, and practical style, aimed at the layperson as well as the clergy. His literary works continue to be read and appreciated for their depth of insight and adherence to the evangelical truths he staunchly supported.
