MARTIN BOEHM

Martin Boehm

(1725-1812)

Martin Boehm probably had the greatest effect upon the growth of the United Brethren movement. This smallish preacher was on fire for God and it showed in his preaching and evangelizing. It was his impassioned sermon that caused the more imposing W. Phillip Otterbein to embrace Boehm, exclaiming, "Wir sind Bruder" (We are Brethren). Yet given his profound influence upon the German speaking population of the United States little is known about this fiery preacher. Listed below are many of the sources available on the life of Martin Boehm.
