One of the leaders of the late 19th Century church in America was Phineas Bresee, an anointed preacher and pastor of the holiness movement that was so prevalent in those days. However, like all good things, those churches got legalistic and full of the ideas of man, so Bresee left the Methodist Church and began the Church of the Nazarene in 1895. Now, more than 125 years later, the Nazarene Church remains a solid, Biblical group of Bible-believing people.
What did Bresee believe as foundation for his new group of churches? I take a look at his life through the eyes of Carl O. Banks, author of Bresee's biography.
