Some sermons are like meals gone cold; they have been away from the fire too long.

John R. Rice

Der US-amerikanische baptistische Evangelist und Autor John R. Rice (1895–1980) war eine führende Stimme des christlichen Fundamentalismus des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er begründete die einflussreiche Publikation „The Sword of the Lord“, forderte kompromisslose theologische Abgrenzung und geriet insbesondere wegen seiner Schriften zur Verteidigung der Rassentrennung sowie patriarchaler Rollenbilder in die Kritik. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnen vor allem seine praktischen Ausführungen zu beharrlichem Gebet und persönlicher Evangelisation.
