The Writings of Alan Burns

Description

Alan Burns was born 1884 in Philadelphia, PA, but spent his youth in Ireland, where he was associated with the Salvation Army and the Plymouth Brethren. At about twenty-one years of age he went to New York City. Being, an earnest seeker after truth and a student of the Scriptures, he became interested in the teaching of Dr. E.W. Bullinger (1837-1913), and was strongly attracted to Vladimir Gelesnoff (1877-1921), when he began his ministry in New York. Gelesnoff considered him the best gospel preacher he had ever heard. With the help of a few friends, who did the printing, Burns started Grace and Glory, a little magazine which gave promise of much good. For lack of support, it languished and soon ceased, to be followed, not long afterwards, by Unsearchable Riches, which virtually took its place. Burns became a valued contributor to the earlier volumes of Unsearchable Riches. The logical and powerful introductory articles in A.E. Knoch’s (1874-1965) book All in All were written by him. Paperback. 318 Pages.
