Download or read book Early American Methodism written by Russell E. Richey and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1991-11-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering a revisionist reading of American Methodism, this book goes beyond the limits of institutional history by suggesting a new and different approach to the examination of denominations. Russell E. Richey identifies within Methodism four distinct "languages" and explores the self-understanding that each language offers the early Methodists. One of these, a pietistic or evangelical vernacular, commonly employed in sermons, letters, and journals, is Richey's focus and provides a way for him to reconsider critical interpretive issues in American religious historiography and the study of Methodism. Richey challenges some important historical conventions, for instance, that the crucial changes in American Methodism occurred in 1784 when ties with John Wesley and Britain were severed, arguing instead for important continuities between the first and subsequent decades of Methodist experience. As Richey shows, the pietistic vernacular did not displace other Methodist languagesWesleyan, Anglican, or the language of American political discoursenor can it supplant them as interpretive devices. Instead, attention to the vernacular severs to highlight the tensions among the other Methodist languages and to suggest something of the complexity of early Methodist discourse. It reveals the incomplete connections made among the several languages, the resulting imprecisions and confusions that derived from using idioms from different languages, and the ways the Methodists drew upon the distinct languages during times of stress, change, and conflict.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Compendious History of American Methodism: Abridged From the Author's History of the Methodist Episcopal Church The Book Concern has for some years been spending liberally to provide the Church with a Standard History of Methodism. It issued first a History of General Methodism in three volumes, giving an account of the denomination in all parts of the world, centralizing in the Wesleyan, or parent body, a work which has been reproduced by four or five competing publishers in England; second, a particular History of the Methodist Episcopal Church in four volumes - the fourth volume just out. These works have received the strongest indorsements not only by Methodists, but other authorities on both sides of the Atlantic. They meet a great want of the Church, and a demand of the general religious public. The author employed by the Concern to prepare them - Dr. Abel Stevens - has devoted his utmost power to them, and has, by thorough research, added more than one third to the data of our history, as given by preceding writers. These works are now a staple part of the property of the Church's own Publishing House: they have cost it much, and will yield much to its interest if properly patronized. There are many of our people, however, who cannot spare the means for works as large as these. It has been our design from the beginning, therefore, to present them in cheaper form, that the whole Church may be supplied with them. When propositions were made by other parties to our author (with the most liberal offers of compensation) to prepare a smaller work for more popular circulation, he promptly declined them on the ground that it would be an indirect interference with the Book Concern's right of property in the work, and contrary to the understood rules of the trade in such cases, especially as the Concern designed in due time to issue an abridgment.
