Biography of Daniel Steele

Daniel Steele  -  Methodist Episcopal pastor and professor

Steele was the first great Bible scholar and theologian of the Holiness movement. He was professor of theology at Boston University and, later, became the first president of Syracuse University. Steele was an able defender of the teachings of Wesley and Fletcher.

The first of his "holiness" books was Love Enthroned (1875, revised 1908). This exposition of the doctrine of entire sanctification includes the author's personal testimony to the experience.
