...Evangelical movement is a quest for traditional faith and values, and so for our cover the editors decided on an American primitive painting, Christ's Sermon on the Mount, by an artist known only as Plattenberger.

It was placed there, says the owner, so that the children of the household could see Christ's admonishing gesture, and behave...
After the Civil War, Southern Evangelicalism was battered by defeat and a sense of hopelessness.

Yet how fresh, urgent and devoted the result, notably in the central section-The Flight into Egypt. Continuing his pioneering Berlioz cycle, Colin Davis...
...most remarkable religious conversions since Paul stopped kicking against the goad, Flynt last week announced that he had been recruited for Christ by Evangelist Ruth Carter Stapleton, the President's sister. Hustler will be reborn as a "religious" skin magazine, he added, and his multimilliondollar, 400-employee empire of magazines and sex products may be turned into a nonprofit religious foundation. As Flynt told a Pentecostal congregation in Houston, where he had gone for the National Women's Conference: "I owe every woman in America an apology...
