What it was
A 19th-century current, rooted in Methodism, centered on "entire sanctification" as a second work of grace. It produced churches such as the Church of the Nazarene and the Salvation Army, and prepared the ground for Pentecostalism.
Little known
One of its central figures was a laywoman, Phoebe Palmer, whose "Tuesday Meetings" in New York influenced Methodist bishops and theologians.
