Phoebe Palmer

Phoebe Palmer (1807-1874) was a significant figure in 19th-century American religious revivalism and the Holiness movement. She is best known for her advocacy of a theology emphasizing a second work of grace, which she believed led to a deeper, more personal experience of faith. Palmer was a compelling speaker and writer, and her "Tuesday Meetings for the Promotion of Holiness" in New York City became influential gatherings for discussing spiritual growth. She played a crucial role in shaping early Pentecostalism and promoting ideas around sanctification, making her a key figure in American religious history.
