The life and labors of D. S. Warner are so closely associated with a religious movement that any attempt at his biography becomes in part necessarily a history of that movement. I have therefore chosen the term, Birth of a Reformation, as a part of the title of this book. Brother Warner (to use an appellation in keeping with the idea of universal Christian brotherhood) was doubtless chosen of God as an instrument for accomplishing a particular work. What that work was, why it may be called a reformation, and why, in particular, it may be considered the last reformation, a few words of explanation by way of introduction are offered the inquiring reader. It will be necessary to take a brief gl...
Excerpt from Birth of a Reformation, or the Life and Labors of Daniel S. Warner Include the universality of the Christian kingdom. The Holy Spirit in the heart was necessary, of course, to the successful government of the church by the Spirit, other wise he could not have been understood. There were no dividing lines, for it was the will of the Lord particularly that there be one fold and one shepherd. Jesus had prayed in behalf of the disciples that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, 'and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me (john I7: These conditions of being subject to the word and Spirit, of leaving an open door throu...
Who Healeth All Thy Diseases is a history of divine healing and 19th-century health reform in the Church of God, one of the earliest and most influential pre-Pentecostal radical holiness movements. The Church of God taught that Wesleyan entire sanctification was creating a visible unity of saints that restored the New Testament church of the apostles. As the movement grew and experimented with the implications of visible sainthood, physical healing--miraculous divine healing and the physical perfectionism of health reform--became integral to the life and theology of the Church of God, shaping everything from proof of membership and evidence of ministerial authority to childrearing practices ...
Daniel Warner's debut novel that focuses on the story of an aspiring screenwriter Daniel Bruckheimer, who comes to New York City to reunite with an old friend, find lost love and hopefully sell his first work. Sounds simple enough, doesn't it? Only his old friend is not particularly thrilled to see him, nor does it look like his script is going to be sold. And when it comes to love, well, Danny Bruckheimer could never get that part right...
It is much harder to define a religious movement than it is to define a religion or denomination. That applies especially when that movement almost defies definition as the Holiness Movement does. The Holiness Movement is a Methodist religious renewal movement that has over 12 million adherents worldwide. Perhaps the most familiar public manifestation of the holiness movement has been its urban holiness missions, and the Salvation Army-noted for its service ministries among poor and people suffering the dislocations that accompany war and disaster-is the most notable example. The A to Z of the Holiness Movement relates important new developments in the Holiness Movement—such as the widely discussed "Holiness Manifesto"—are thoroughly discussed, and the content has also been expanded to include information on figures from Asia and Africa to reflect the continued growth of the Holiness Movement. With a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 400 cross-referenced dictionary entries, this reference has information that cannot be found elsewhere.
