Thomas Ball Barratt, also known as T. B. Barratt, (22 July 1862 – 29 January 1940) was a British-born Norwegian pastor and one of the founding figures of the Pentecostal movement in Europe, bringing the movement, or baptism in the Holy Spirit, as it became known, to Norway and Europe in 1906. He was originally a Methodist pastor but later left the church and went on to establish the Pentecostal movement in Norway.
Close to his heart were the matters of salvation, his social engagement (charitable work), and "fight against alcohol."[1] He was seen as one of the founders and leaders of the European Pentecostal movement.[2] His motto was "Fram til urkristendommen," 'onward to ancient Christianity'.[3] He was interested in art, singing, and music, and translated songs to Norwegian. He was a sought-after preacher and wrote several books and a number of theological articles in Christian publications.[4]
On 10 May 1887, Barratt married Laura Jakobsen.[1] They had eight children, though only four survived to adulthood. Daughter Mary Barratt Due was a pianist; together with her husband Henrik Adam Due they founded the Barratt Due Institute of Music in 1927. Musicians Cecilie Barratt Due and Stephan Barratt-Due are Thomas Ball Barratt's grandchildren.
Barratt died 29 January 1940. On his deathbed he stated, "There was more land to conquer."[5]
