Este termo teve sua origem em 1887 em uma série de sermões chamados “Fourfold Gospel” (“Evangelho quádruplo”) pelo pastor canadenseAlbert Benjamin Simpson, fundador da União mundial da Aliança em New York, nos Estados Unidos, que irá caracterizar seu ensino. [1][2]
Segundo ele, este conceito representa os 4 aspectos do ministério de Jesus Cristo; Cristo o Salvador, Santificador, Curador e Rei que em breve voltará. [3]
