Samuel Chadwick

Samuel Chadwick war ein britischer methodistischer Prediger, Evangelist und Leiter des Cliff College an der Wende zum 20. Jahrhundert. Er stand für die wesleyanische Heiligungsbewegung und betonte in seinen Schriften und Predigten die Notwendigkeit des beharrlichen Gebets sowie das Wirken des Heiligen Geistes. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er als Autor, der die Kirche vor geistlicher Selbstgenügsamkeit warnte und zu einer kompromisslosen Hingabe an Gott aufrief.
