Smith Wigglesworth (1859—1947) was a British preacher who was influential in the early Pentecostal movement. Wigglesworth, along with Charles Parham in the U.S., was one of the first preachers to espouse and practice the teachings of Pentecostalism, particularly faith healing and the gift of tongues as evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Fans of Wigglesworth call him the “Apostle of Faith.”

So, with Wigglesworth there is a lot to unpack, but I think the main points will be

  • Faith healing
  • Gift of tongues as evidence of the baptism of the Holy Spirit
  • The fact that the only book Wigglesworth ever read was the Bible and didn’t permit other books in his house – including even newspapers
