Phineas Bresee : Pastor To The People

Phineas Bresee: Pastor to the People is the story of a great Protestant leader told in the broader context of American religious history.

After a long and successful career as a Methodist minister, Phineas Bresee uprooted his family and settled in Los Angeles, a burgeoning urban center fraught with poverty and need. There Bresee discovered a new call of God to those who were displaced and marginalized. His heart to take the gospel to the poor, the immigrant, and the urban dweller ended up birthing a new denomoination: the Church of the Nazarene.
