The Tornado of the Pulpit: Rev. William Patteson Nicholson

By J. E. Hazlett Lynch and J.E. Hazlett Lynch

Rev. W. P. Nicholson, the Presbyterian minister and internationally renowned evangelist from Bangor, Co. Down, Northern Ireland, was the man to whom, under God, Ulster owes a high debt of gratitude. His evangelistic campaigns in the 1920s did more to calm the storm that surrounded the partition issue than many admit, and transformed the situation from one of civil unrest and bloodshed to relative peace.Known as 'the tornado of the pulpit,' Nicholson's prayer-soaked preaching knew the special anointing of God and saw thousands of souls saved and brought into His Kingdom. No man since then has had such a profound and positive impact in Ulster.Nicholson opposed theological liberalism, denouncing its promoters with conviction. He saw numerous young men offer themselves for the Christian ministry. Converted men became church elders and deacons, and Christian women became Sunday School teachers. Nicholson founded the Christian Workers Union (CWU). Rev. Dr J. E. Hazlett Lynch makes this story come alive as he traces Nicholson's life and conversion, pinpoints many of the blessings that accompanied his preaching, and highlights the truths he emphasised in his evangelism, many of which are missing from today's aenemic preaching. Lynch refers to the common ground that exists between Nicholson and Dr D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, the other great evangelist of the twentieth century.
