not. Evaluating this project can assist the editor in selecting articles about holiness for future publication. -------------------------------------------------------------- ENDNOTES 1 The literature on the holiness movement is extensive. Introduction to this literature can be found in Charles Edwin Jones, A Guide to the Study of the Holiness Movement (Metuchen, NJ: Scarecrow Press, 1974), and William Charles Miller, Holiness Works: A Bibliography (Kansas City, MO: Nazarene Publishing House, 1986). 2 The official title of the publication is God's Revivalist and Bible Advocate. In this project the title has been shortened to God's Revivalist. 3 God's Bible School and College, Catalog 1989-1991 (Cincinnati: God's Bible School, 1989), 5.
A PRESENTATION OF PERFECTION By Dr. Mark Eckart Chapter 2 Historical Context As indicated in the introduction, this project has considered both the history of God's Bible School and the broader development of the holiness movement. Also, attention has specifically been given to the College's history as it relates to the God's Revivalist and the articles that have been selected to study. This chapter provides a brief historical overview of the significant developments in the School and holiness denominations. Martin Wells Knapp, 1900-1901, God's Bible School Knapp, a Methodist minister, started God's Bible School in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1900. He had published the God's Revivalist since 1888 and, for several months, had been advertising the School before it opened on Thursday, September 27, 1900. At that time the School only offered a one-year course, and there were seventy-two students that enrolled the first year. The School started as -- and still is -- an interdenominational school of the Wesleyan-Arminian theological persuasion. In August of 1900 this is what Martin W. Knapp said that God's Bible School was designed to be: A place where Christian soldiers will be drilled in the rules and tactics of successful soul-winning warfare. A coaling-station, where people will lay in a supply of spiritual coal, which will enable them to make successful soul-winning trips on the salvation railroad. A salvation lighthouse, from which warning and inviting light will gleam to the salvation of many, not only in the city beneath, but over the world. It is God's. He has prompted it. He is leading His people to plant it and water it. [1] This kind of introduction to God's Bible School found in the God's Revivalist showed that from the School's inception the periodical has had a significant part to play in the life of the School. Yearly since 1900 the God's Revivalist has kept the constituency informed about the events that have taken place at God's Bible School. The God's Revivalist, from the School's beginning, has also regularly carried articles about the doctrine of holiness. In fact, Knapp chose to refer to God's Bible School as the "Mount of Blessings," in part, because of its holiness emphasis. In 1900, he wrote in the God's Revivalist, Another reason why it may fittingly be named the "Mount of Blessings" is that its mission is to mightily magnify the blessings of the new birth and the gift and gifts of the Holy Spirit, the double work which both saves from sins and sin, and makes mightily efficient in the cause of winning the world for Christ.
