Birth of a Reformation; Or, The Life and Labors of Daniel S. Warner

The biography traces Daniel S. Warner's ministerial development and leadership in a restoration movement, chronicling his gradual emergence from denominational affiliations into a distinct fellowship. Drawing on diaries, periodical records, and reminiscences of contemporaries, it recounts itinerant labor, doctrinal struggles, and the turning points that shaped his message. The account highlights core convictions advanced by Warner and his associates, especially holiness, the exclusive claim of the true church, and a return to apostolic patterns presented as fulfillment of an evening-time prophetic expectation. Biographical narrative is combined with portraits of fellow workers, summaries of preaching and publications, and expositions of the movement's principles.
