Another Guess Who

Posted by Jake | Category: historia! |

I recently read this description of a major modern American evangelical:

“[He] was a showman who introduced drama and excitement into his sermons by pounding the pulpit, standing on a chair, doing handsprings, and jumping on top of the pulpit. He preached what one observed called a ‘muscular Christianity.’ Jesus, ‘was no dough-faced, lick-spittle proposition,’ he declared. ‘Jesus was the greatest scrapper that ever lived.’ The lesson to be drawn was clear: ‘Let me tell you, the manliest man is the man who will acknowledge Jesus Christ.’”

The answer might surprise you.
