The Heart of the Gospel: A. B. Simpson the Fourfold Gospel and Late Nineteenth-Century Evangelical Theology: 106 (Princeton Theological Monograph)

The Fourfold Gospel most often associated with Albert B. Simpson founder of The Christian and Missionary Alliance which focuses on the doctrines of Christ as Savior Sanctifier Healer and Coming King has been identified as a key contributing factor to the birth and development of the modern Pentecostal movement. Through a close observation of the doctrinal themes of select and renowned Evangelical leaders in America (A. J. Gordon of Boston D. L. Moody of Chicago A. T. Pierson of Philadelphia/Detroit and A. B. Simpson of New York) this work shows that the Fourfold Gospel and therefore the theological source for modern Pentecostalism rather than being a marginal movement within late nineteenth-century Evangelicalism was instead its very heart.
