RT Williams - "A Neglected Theme - Temptation"
Thursday Aug 14, 2025
Thursday Aug 14, 2025
RT Williams (1883-1946) was a minister and general superintendent in the Church of the Nazarene. Born in Texas, he became a minister in 1908 and later served as president of Texas Holiness University. He was the youngest person to be elected general superintendent of the Church of the Nazarene at age 33 and served in that role from 1916 until his death in 1946.
"An appreication by BF Haynes
Dr. Williams has done the disciples of our Lord a distinct service in giving in printed form this dissertation on "Temptation." He enters the arena of the daily struggles of the believer and helps him along the most practical and needy lines of his life. Strange indeed that Temptation should ever have become a neglected theme, but it is true, as the author suggests. We admire the clear and logical and discriminating way in which the subject is treated in these pages."
