Personal life
Arthur Steele was born on June 17, 1920, in McKeesport, Pennsylvania. He graduated with a degree in Chemical Engineering from Carnegie Tech (now Carnegie Mellon University) in 1942. Having been a member of the ROTC in college, he was commissioned as an officer upon graduation and served his country in the Corps of Engineers Research and Development Board during World War II as the Supervisor of the Gas Generating School at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.[2]
In 1956, Steele started his official ministerial pursuits when he began studies at Faith Theological Seminary, while still maintaining part-time employment at Air Products. Upon receiving his M.Div. and D.D. degrees in 1959, he was asked to serve as the vice president and treasurer of the seminary. In 1962, the Lord led him to accept the position of president of Shelton College in Ringwood, New Jersey. He served in this capacity until 1965.
His memoirs are based on 2 Kings 6:6, "And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim" (KJV).
