Andrew D. Urshan

Persian-Born Evangelist and Apostolic Pioneer

Born in Persia and baptized in the Holy Ghost in America, Andrew Bar David Urshan became a blazing voice of Apostolic truth across continents. His ministry carried the Oneness message and the power of Jesus’ name baptism through Persia, Russia, Europe, and the United States.

Imprisoned for the gospel, driven from nations, and tested by loss, Urshan wrote from a life that had been proven. His works remain among the clearest early statements of Apostolic doctrine ever committed to print.

15 Q&A on the Godhead cover

15 Q&A on the Godhead

15 Questions & Answers on the Godhead is a clear, Bible-centered explanation of who God is, written by Andrew D. Urshan, one of the most influential voices of early Apostolic Pentecostal theology. Presented in a straightforward question-and-answer format, this concise work addresses the most common and important questions surrounding the nature of God. Drawing exclusively from Scripture (KJV), Urshan explains the biblical teaching that God is one, and that the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily in Jesus Christ (Colossians 2:9). Timeless, bold, and deeply scriptural, this book remains a trusted resource for a Bible-only understanding of God’s oneness.
The Supreme Prayer Need of the Hour cover

The Supreme Prayer Need of the Hour

Andrew D. Urshan delivers a powerful and timeless call back to the one thing the Church cannot live without—prevailing prayer. First published in 1923 and reprinted across multiple generations, this classic work exposes prayer not as a religious duty, but as the supreme need of the hour and the very source of every true revival. Drawing from Scripture, historical revivals, and decades of personal ministry, Urshan reveals why prayer must come first before preaching, worship, or Christian service. This is more than a book about prayer—it is a revival manual.
The Almighty God in the Lord Jesus Christ cover

The Almighty God in the Lord Jesus Christ

A profound theological exploration of the complete embodiment of the Deity in the person of Jesus Christ. Drawing from Scripture and historical theology, this work argues that the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily in Christ—not symbolically, but completely and eternally. Through careful exegesis and typology, the author dismantles traditional misunderstandings of the Trinity, affirming the biblical view that Jesus is not a secondary person in a triune model, but the express image, the face, and the living temple of the invisible God. It will challenge your assumptions, sharpen your understanding, and deepen your worship.
The Doctrine of the New Birth cover

The Doctrine of the New Birth

Originally published in 1921 and now reprinted for a new generation, The Doctrine of the New Birth cuts through religious speculation and denominational tradition to present a profound, strictly scriptural truth as taught by our Lord, proclaimed by His Apostles, and confirmed by the Holy Spirit. This book meticulously explores what it means to be born of water and of the Spirit, revealing this two-fold experience as the sole entry into the Kingdom of God. Urshan unpacks the inseparable roles of water baptism and the baptism of the Holy Spirit, demonstrating how they were foreshadowed in the Old Testament and perfectly fulfilled in the New.
Timely Messages of Warning cover

Timely Messages of Warning

Originally published in 1917, this collection compiles five powerful sermons from the pioneer Pentecostal evangelist known as the “Persian Evangelist.” The messages—“True and False Holiness,” “Anathema Maran-atha,” “Fervent in Spirit Serving the Lord,” “Overcoming Life,” and “The Timely Message”—confront lukewarm Christianity and examine the believer’s responsibility to abide in Christ and remain spiritually watchful. Originally published in The Voice in the Wilderness, these timeless messages address holiness, devotion to Jesus Christ, and spiritual vigilance as we await Christ’s return.
