Author Bio
About the Author
Frank Bartleman (1871-1936) was an early Pentecostal evangelist and participant in the Azusa Street Revival. He studied at Temple College and Moody Bible Institute, and spent his early years in ministry in Holiness and Wesleyan churches. In 1905, Bartleman became involved in a spiritual outpouring in Los Angeles that was sparked by the great Welsh Revival. That revival set the stage for the interracial Azusa Street Revival (1906–1909), which became a focal point of the emerging Pentecostal Movement. A prolific author, Bartleman wrote more than 550 articles, one hundred tracts, and six books.
