Synopsis

Samuel Chadwick (1860-1932) was a Wesleyan Methodist who offered up straight-forward teaching to as many as would receive it. His teachings focus not on the theoretical expanses of what God may or may not do, but are instead centered on the Christian experience. However, he teaches only the experience which is clearly backed up by the Bible. Chadwick's definition of Pentecost is different than that of today’s mainline Pentecostal churches. He is speaking of the classic Methodist teaching of entire sanctification, perfect love, or whatever else it may be called. However, this book is of great value to mainline Pentecostals, as these teachings are what helped birth the modern Pentecostal movement. What he has to say is desperately needed in the church today. There is no question why Chadwick's works have endured these many years past his death. He taught plainly from the living Word of God, and that word endures forever.

About this title

About the Author

Samuel Chadwick (1860-1932) was a Wesleyan Methodist minister. After a major awakening and deepening of his faith in his late twenties via a personal epiphany after which he burned all his early sermons, he moved on to larger congregations and greater popularity. After a few years preaching in Edinburgh and at a new chapel in Glasgow he was ordained in 1890 and returned to England as Superintendent of the Leeds Mission. In 1904 Chadwick began lecturing weekly at Cliff College, a Methodist lay training centre, commuting from Leeds. In 1907, he was appointed to a faculty position as a biblical and theological tutor. Although he was doing mission work in the South Yorkshire Coalfield when the Principal of Cliff died in 1912, he immediately returned to the school and was formally appointed principal in 1913, remaining in that post for the rest of his career. Famed outdoor evangelist Leonard Ravenhill was educated at Cliff College during Chadwick's tenure. At Cliff, Chadwick wrote The Way to Pentecost, which went to print as he was dying in 1932. He also wrote The Call to Christian Perfection. Chadwick's works have been reprinted often since his death, and continue to be reprinted in new editions under various titles for modern study.
