Overview

The digital copies of this book are available for free at First Fruit's website. place.asburyseminary.edu/firstfruits FORWARD In the Religious Trends of Today, we find receding tides and lowering storm clouds heralding their angry threats of destruction with their forked lightning and deafening claps of thunder. But we also find the incoming tides and rents in the clouds through which shines the Day Star of hope for a confused and troubled world in its mad rush toward chaos and ruin. While the hands on the clock of human progress are threatened to be turned back- ward for a thousand years, it is encouraging to know that there is a balm in gilead and that there is a physician whose healing touch is sufficient for such a perplexed and baffled world as we confront today. Amid all of the shifting and changing scenes of time which have brought us to our modern world, Jesus Christ has lost none of the efficacy of His saving power. The Religious Trends of Today reveal the fact that the gospel of Christ still remains the power of God unto salvation unto everyone that believeth. J. C.

Author Information

Julian Claudius McPheeters was born on July 11, 1886 in Logan Creek, Missouri. His father worked as both a farmer and a pastor in the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. McPheeters was educated in Missouri and served a number of churches in that state. In 1918 he contracted tuberculosis and fought for three years to combat the illness. Shortly afterward as the pastor of University Methodist Church in Tucson, Arizona, he developed the first of many radio shows for shut-ins, as well as a circulating library for others with tuberculosis and another for prison inmates. J. C. McPheeters was a close friend of H. C. Morrison, and because of this relationship he was appointed in 1930 as the pastor of Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco, California. Here he wrote religious columns for the San Francisco Examiner, developed more innovative radio programs, and became actively involved in the plight of migrant workers. H. C. Morrison chose J. C. McPheeters to follow him as the second president of Asbury Theological Seminary and the editor of the Pentecostal Herald. At first, McPheeters led the seminary from California, but ultimately he left Glide Memorial in 1948 to relocate to Kentucky. J. C. McPheeters served as president of Asbury Theological Seminary from 1942 to 1962, and during that time he raised funds and established the institution on a sound financial basis for its future growth. He continued to serve the church as an evangelist and Asbury Theological Seminary till his death in 1983. First Fruits Press is delighted to reintroduce the works of J. C. McPheeters to a new generation.
