Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""A History of Methodism"" is a comprehensive account of the rise of the Methodist movement in the first half of the eighteenth century. Written by Holland N. McTyeire, a prominent Methodist bishop and theologian, the book provides a detailed overview of the origins and development of the movement, from its roots in the Church of England to its emergence as a distinct religious tradition. The book covers the key figures and events that shaped Methodism, including the life and teachings of John Wesley, the founder of the movement, and his brother Charles Wesley, who wrote many of the hymns that became central to Methodist worship. It also explores the social and cultural context in which Methodism emerged, including the impact of the Industrial Revolution and the Enlightenment on religious life in Britain.Throughout the book, McTyeire emphasizes the spiritual and moral values that underpinned the Methodist movement, including the importance of personal conversion, the pursuit of holiness, and the commitment to social justice and reform. He also discusses the challenges and controversies that Methodism faced, including its relationship with the established Church of England and its response to political and social upheavals such as the American Revolution and the abolition of slavery.Written in a clear and accessible style, ""A History of Methodism"" is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, the development of religious movements, and the role of religion in shaping social and cultural change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
