Download or read book The Supernatural and the Circuit Riders written by Rimi Xhemajli and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Supernatural and the Circuit Riders, Rimi Xhemajli shows how a small but passionate movement grew and shook the religious world through astonishing signs and wonders. Beginning in the late eighteenth century, early American Methodist preachers, known as circuit riders, were appointed to evangelize the American frontier by presenting an experiential gospel: one that featured extraordinary phenomena that originated from God’s Spirit. In employing this evangelistic strategy of the gospel message fueled by supernatural displays, Methodism rapidly expanded. Despite beginning with only ten official circuit riders in the early 1770s, by the early 1830s, circuit riders had multiplied and caused Methodism to become the largest American denomination of its day. In investigating the significance of the supernatural in the circuit rider ministry, Xhemajli provides a new historical perspective through his eye-opening demonstration of the correlation between the supernatural and the explosive membership growth of early American Methodism, which fueled the Second Great Awakening. In doing so, he also prompts the consideration of the relevance and reproduction of such acts in the American church today.

Book excerpt: Methodist circuit riders were familiar figures in early American villages, towns and cities, and on the frontier. The rough-and-tumble times before, during and after the American Revolution required special men, weatherbeaten and toughened by days and weeks in the saddle. But the cause of Christ bred just such hardy warriors of the cross. Here are the stories of true heroes who suffered and sacrificed that the New World might have the gospel, factual accounts of famous champions of the church (and many who are not so well-known). But even today, their legacy reaches us as the spiritual descendants of their converts. - Back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Williams Irish Street Preacher and Methodist Circuit Rider Lay Preacher in Ireland and Circuit Rider in America First Methodist to preach in Virginia and North Carolina First Methodist Printer and Publisher in America Founder of the Norfolk and Petersburg Societies 1772 Founder of the Brunswick Circuit 1773-1774 Founder or Jerusalem United Methodist Church 1773 In 1772 news spread along the south side of the Roanoke River that a Methodist circuit rider was going to preach under the big willow oak on Ebenezer Coleman's plantation. Robert Williams preached with power. The oak tree became a regular preaching place on his Brunswick Circuit and the place where Jerusalem United Methodist Church was born. Robert William's birth, baptism, and conversion are not documented. Neither is his call to preach. His travel journals, if there were any kept, have never been found. Dr. Bergland, researching his life and legends, employs church records, colonial history and imagination to tell the story (history) and stories (historical fiction) of an indefatigable (stubborn) Irish lay preacher. Dr. John K Bergland is a retired United Methodist Minister who was the professor of preaching and associate dean at Duke Divinity School. His interest in Methodist history (he authored "Strangely Warm") and convictional preaching are reflected in this book. When he came to Jerusalem UMC as an interim pastor in 2005 he learned about Robert Williams great awakening ministry in the Roanoke Valley. He bought a home on the shores of Lake Gaston (formerly the Roanoke River) and, by the pretty ways of providence, found himself living on the old ferry road used by the circuit rider on his way to the Jerusalem Methodist class in 1773. The Stories of Robert Williams are now heard wherever Dr. Bergland happens to be.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing the rise in fortunes of a Methodist minister in nineteenth-century Indiana, this book presents a vivid and revealing picture of the political, social, and religious culture of that place and era. Born in Nashville in 1800, Tarkington experienced an early life of harshness and deprivation, the common lot of pioneer farming families. Disdainful of slavery, the Tarkingtons eventually left Tennessee for Indiana, where they settled in Monroe County in 1817. Joseph underwent a religious conversion at a camp meeting in 1820 and joined the Methodists shortly thereafter. He became a circuit-riding preacher whose pay, in his first year, for ministering to congregations in five counties consisted of nine dollars and a new pair of trousers. Despite the hardships he endured, Tarkington found the ministry to be a pathway to respectability and, ultimately, relative affluence. His rise in the Methodist Church paralleled that of the denomination itself: from an "old-time, " evangelistic religion appealing largely to the untutored, Methodism readily accommodated itself to the society's transformations, thereby achieving "respectability" and expanding its membership and influence. Joseph Tarkington's story offers invaluable insights into the history of Methodism - much neglected in the study of American religion - as well as into many of the key issues that faced the nineteenth-century United States: slavery, social reform, education, and political leadership.
