Joel Rufus Moseley (1870–1954) is one of the twentieth-century champions of American Pentecostalism. A brilliant scholar and university professor, he left the accolades of academia and searched a number of spiritual paths until he embraced Pentecostalism in 1910.
A contemporary of Dr. Victor Paul Wierwille and one of the many invited to the Spirital Forty Club, his unique style of preaching the scripture and ministering God's Word was noted in many of Dr. Wierwille's sharings.
He had ministry to the down-and-outs of society, openly campaigning against capital punishment, for racial desegregation, and above all else for living a life in the Holy Spirit he described as “Life as Love.” He blazed a path that was to influence (and confound) many Pentecostal leaders of his time, provided an example to those who would lead what become known as the Charismatic Renewal, and enjoyed a life of joy one rarely encounters.
