Reuben Archer Torrey (1856 – 1928) was an American evangelist, pastor, educator, and writer.

Torrey joined Dwight L. Moody in his evangelistic work in Chicago in 1889, and became superintendent of the Bible Institute of the Chicago Evangelization Society (now Moody Bible Institute).

In 1902–1903, he preached in nearly every part of the English-speaking world. Torrey conducted a similar campaign in American and Canadian cities in 1906–1907. Throughout these campaigns, Torrey used a meeting style that he borrowed from Moody's campaigns of the 1870s.

Torrey writes:

"It is very common for “advanced thinkers” to say that they do not believe the Bible as a whole to be the word of God, but they do accept the authority of Jesus Christ. Now, this statement is utterly illogical. For if we accept the authority of Jesus Christ, we must accept the whole Bible as being the Word of God, of divine origin, and of absolute divine authority. In Mark vii. 13, Jesus calls the law of Moses “the Word of God,” and sternly denounces those who set up their speculations against its authoritative proclamation of God’s will. Here, then, Jesus sets His seal to the divine origin and authority of the first five books of the Old Testament. This is the very portion of the Bible about which there is the most bitter controversy to-day. If that portion will stand, there need be no concern about the rest.

"Joy that is pure, deep, real, abiding, eternal, is from God. He gives it, maintains it, increases it, through the Bible. There is no gladness comparable to that which comes through meditation upon and acceptance of the words recorded in the Bible."
