Book excerpt: This book is about those preachers whom John Wesley called his Sons in the Gospel, their lives, their importance in the Methodist movement and their wider significance.

Download or read book John Wesley and the Education of Children written by Linda A. Ryan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars have historically associated John Wesley’s educational endeavours with the boarding school he established at Kingswood, near Bristol, in 1746. However, his educational endeavours extended well beyond that single institution, even to non-Methodist educational programmes. This book sets out Wesley’s thinking and practice concerning child-rearing and education, particularly in relation to gender and class, in its broader eighteenth-century social and cultural context. Drawing on writings from Churchmen, Dissenters, economists, philosophers and reformers as well as educationalists, this study demonstrates that the political, religious and ideological backdrop to Wesley’s work was neither static nor consistent. It also highlights Wesley’s eighteenth-century fellow Evangelicals including Lady Huntingdon, John Fletcher, Hannah More and Robert Raikes to demonstrate whether Wesley’s thinking and practice around schooling was in any way unique. This study sheds light on how Wesley’s attitudes to education were influencing and influenced by the society in which he lived and worked. As such, it will be of great interest to academics with an interest in Methodism, education and eighteenth-century attitudes towards gender and class.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An untold story of love, idealism and courage in the Second World War 'A very moving account of the all-too-brief life of a warrior-poet' Antony Beevor, author of Stalingrad 'An elegy for a lost generation, and a fascinating social and political history of a peculiar period in our recent past ... it's impossible to put down Conradi's impressive and moving account of Thompson's life without a feeling of regret.' Mail on Sunday Modest, handsome and a fine poet, eccentric Englishman Frank Thompson made an unlikely soldier. Brother of E. P. Thompson and lover of Iris Murdoch, Frank was an intellectual idealist, a rare combination of brilliant mind and enormous heart. Of his wartime experiences, Frank wrote prodigiously. His letters, diaries and poetry still read fresh and intimate today - and it is from these that Peter J. Conradi brings vividly to life a brilliantly attractive and courageous personality. Aged just twenty-three, Frank was captured, tortured and executed in Bulgaria. A soldier of principle and integrity, he fought a poet's war; a very English hero from a very different era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a religious and social phenomenon Methodism engages with a number of disciplines including history, sociology, gender studies and theology. Methodist energy and vitality have intrigued, and continue to fascinate scholars. This Companion brings together a team of respected international scholars writing on key themes in World Methodism to produce an authoritative and state-of-the-art review of current scholarship, mapping the territory for future research. Leading scholars examine a range of themes including: the origins and genesis of Methodism; the role and significance of John Wesley; Methodism’s emergence within the international and transatlantic evangelical revival of the Eighteenth-Century; the evolution and growth of Methodism as a separate denomination in Britain; its expansion and influence in the early years of the United States of America; Methodists’ roles in a range of philanthropic and social movements including the abolition of slavery, education and temperance; the character of Methodism as both conservative and radical; its growth in other cultures and societies; the role of women as leaders in Methodism, both acknowledged and resisted; the worldwide spread of Methodism and its enculturation in America, Asia and Africa; the development of distinctive Methodist theologies in the last three centuries; its role as a progenitor of the Holiness and Pentecostal movements, and the engagement of Methodists with other denominations and faiths across the world. This major companion presents an invaluable resource for scholars worldwide; particularly those in the UK, North America, Asia and Latin America.

Notwithstanding the stringency of the rules for admission and government there were twenty-eight pupils in the school within two or three months of its being opened. Each of these paid 14 for board and teaching, including books, pens, ink, and paper. The terms for those who wished to stay on after having passed through the school were fixed at 20 per annum, without books, etc. Preachers' sons were not admitted, nor were they for some years to come, except upon the ordinary terms, as paying boarders. The school was, however, under the guidance and control of those few clergymen who met annually to discuss the affairs of the Society. The search for masters was a difficult one, because Wesley would have none but men who were truly devoted to God; who sought nothing on earth, neither pleasure, nor ease, nor profit, nor the praise of men;t but it was more or less successful, and six were engaged, namely, J ohn] J ones], T homas] R ichards], W alter] S ellon], R ichard] M oss], W illiam] S pencer], and A braham] G rou]. The housekeeper, M ary] D avey], a man, R T, and four maids, completed the household of forty persons.2 Most of these names are to be found amongst the list of Wesley'spreachers. John Jones, late a zealous Calvinist, joined Wesley and preached his first sermon at the Foundry in 1746.1 Thomas Richards was one of the earliest supporters of Wesley. In his description of the gradual and almost imperceptible growth and influence of the Society, Wesley says: After a time a young man, name Thomas Maxfield, came and desired to help me as a son in the gospel. Soon after came a second, Thomas Richards; and then a third, Thomas Westell. These severally desired to ...
