Download or read book Wesley and Methodist Studies written by Geordan Hammond and published by Clements Publishing Group. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wesley and Methodist Studies (WMS) publishes peer-reviewed essays that examine the life and work of John and Charles Wesley, their contemporaries (proponents or opponents) in the eighteenth-century Evangelical Revival, their historical and theological antecedents, their successors in the Wesleyan tradition, and studies of the Wesleyan and Evangelical traditions today. Its primary historical scope is the eighteenth century to the present; however, WMS will publish essays that explore the historical and theological antecedents of the Wesleys (including work on Samuel and Susanna Wesley), Methodism, and the Evangelical Revival. WMS has a dual and broad focus on both history and theology. Its aim is to present significant scholarly contributions that shed light on historical and theological understandings of Methodism broadly conceived. Essays within the thematic scope of WMS from the disciplinary perspectives of literature, philosophy, education and cognate disciplines are welcome. WMS is a collaborative project of the Manchester Wesley Research Centre and The Oxford Centre for Methodism and Church History, Oxford Brookes University.
Download or read book Methodism a Very Short Introduction written by William J. Abraham and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019-01-19 with total page 169 pages. 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.

OXFORD, AND THE FIRST METHODISTS. My young readers have most likely heard of Oxford. Perhaps they know that it is a city in Oxfordshire, about fifty-six miles from London, and that in this city is one of the most famous universities of England. The word University they will understand means a large public school for young men, where every kind of learning is to be obtained. I have not room to write many particulars concerning this famous and ancient University. I will, however, just say that it has many distinct colleges, in which the young men principally reside; that each college has its own governor, and other officers; that as many as two thousand persons are gathered together in the various colleges of Oxford during those parts of the year that are called term times; that these persons are known by the name of collegians; and that a great number of these collegians are intended to become ministers of the Church of England. It may be as well to say also, that the usual time for a young man to spend in the University is four years, when he is considered to be sufficiently educated; and that this course of instruction is generally expensive, although at first, the universities were designed principally for the poor. There are, however, a number of young men educated without cost in the different colleges; and there are also, in each college, certain persons, called Fellows, who, having been once chosen, are entitled to live in the college as long as they please, (unless they marry, ) and to share in its revenues, or profits. I have already told you that John Wesley was intended by his parents to be a clergyman. To fit him for the university which, in its turn, was to fit him, as was supposed, for the ministry, he was sent, .

Download or read book Charles Wesley and the Struggle for Methodist Identity written by Gareth Lloyd and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-04-12 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An important new study of the life and ministry of the Anglican minister and Evangelical leader Charles Wesley (1707-88) which examines the often-neglected contribution made by John Wesley's younger brother to the early history of the Methodist movement. Charles Wesley's importance as the author of classic hymns like `Love Divine' and `O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing' is well known, but his wider contribution to Methodism, the Church of England and the Evangelical Revival has been overlooked. Gareth Lloyd presents a new appraisal of Charles Wesley based on his own papers and those of his friends and enemies. The picture of the Revival that results from a fresh examination of one of Methodism's most significant leaders offers a new perspective on the formative years of a denomination that today has an estimated 80 million members worldwide.
