Dan R NelsonDan Nelson served as an ordained Baptist pastor of three churches for the last 50 years. He and his wife, Janice, live in Live Oak, Texas. They recently moved after spending four years in Sherwood, Oregon, when Dan retired from a 35-year full-time patorate at First Baptist Church of Camarillo, California. Dan writes and contributes various articles to Baptist History groups while serving as an administrator of an online Bible Study group. He has taught the History of Christianity at Channel Islands Bible College and is the author of six other books. Dan also preaches and teaches at various churches on Baptist History and Doctrine. He remains active through supply preaching. He also teaches classes at his home church, First Baptist Church of Universal City, Texas, on Baptist History and Practice using two of his books for reference. Dan's most recent books continue his theme of seeking to write on Baptist History and biographies that cover the establishment and continuous story of Baptists. His ambition of writing on ongoing Baptist History was his motivation for his previous books on Baptist Biographies and Happenings in America and his book on Early Baptists: A Comparative History of the Anabaptist and English Baptist Movements. Early Baptists is his most extensive and challenging work. It covers two centuries with many biographies, doctrinal explanations, and historical events in these groups during the Reformation era and the turbulent seventeenth century religious conflict in England.Dan also does a dramatic monologue and sermon excerpts on Whitefield dressed as Whitefield.
