Download or read book Methodism written by Rupert E. Davies and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-07-26 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proceedings of the Methodist Church Congress held in The Central Hall, Bristol — October 7–10, 1929. This volume is offered to a wider public in belief that the effort of the Congress to bring out the value and significance for the life of today of the Methodist Witness to “a free, full, present, salvation,” deserves a permanent record. For the individual reader, we venture to suggest that the book should be read with the endeavor to relate the addresses with the accompanying devotional exercises as they are presented for the proceedings of each session. It is for this purpose that the devotional services have been combined with the respective addresses. For the same reason it is also hoped that the book may provide a welcome and inspiring textbook and devotional guide for the Guilds and Study Circles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning as a renewal movement within Anglicanism in the eighteenth century, Methodism had become the largest Protestant denomination in the USA in the nineteenth century, and is today one of the most vibrant forms of Christianity. Representing a complex spiritual and evangelistic experiment that involves a passionate commitment to worldwide mission, it covers a global network of Christian denominations. In this Very Short Introduction William J. Abraham traces Methodism from its origins in the work of John Wesley and the hymns of his brother, Charles Wesley, in the eighteenth century, right up to the present. Considering the identity, nature, and history of Methodism, Abraham provides a fresh account of the place of Methodism in the life and thought of the Christian Church. Describing the message of Methodism, and who the Methodists are, he also considers the practices of Methodism, and discusses the global impact of Methodism and its decline in the homelands. Finally Abraham looks forward, and considers the future prospects for Methodism.

Download or read book The Elect Methodists written by David Ceri Jones and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2012-04-15 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Elect Methodists is the first full-length academic study of Calvinistic Methodism, a movement that emerged in the eighteenth century as an alternative to the better known Wesleyan grouping. While the branch of Methodism led by John Wesley has received significant historical attention, Calvinistic Methodism, especially in England, has not. The book charts the sources of the eighteenth-century Methodist revival in the context of Protestant evangelicalism emerging in continental Europe and colonial North America, and then proceeds to follow the fortunes in both England and Wales of the Calvinistic branch, to the establishing of formal denominations in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
