Samuel J. Steiner

Hidden in Plain Sight

History & Biography

“James Clare Fuller has provided a deeply researched, ecclesiastical biography of Samuel Goudie, a core leader of the maturing Ontario Conference of the Mennonite Brethren in Christ, from his 1866 birth to his death after the Second World War. Especially helpful is Fuller’s careful delineation of the theological influences—Mennonite, Wesleyan Holiness, and Pentecostalism—that impacted and sometimes threatened this small, rurally-based denomination.”
