Wesleyan Methodism"The book traces the Wesleyan Movement from its beginnings in the early days of the Industrial Revolution to the eve of Methodist Union. It is the story of small chapels and magnificent Central Halls, of preachers and church leaders such as Jabez Bunting (1779-1858), Hugh Price Hughes (1847-1902) and John Scott Lidgett (1854-1953). The Wesleyan Methodists were a Church committed to mission overseas and to combining evangelism with social action at home. The book sketches the story of an independent movement between the Established Church and the Nonconformists becoming a Church in its own right. Turner concludes by asking what today's Churches might be able to learn from the history of Wesleyan Methodism." "This book will be of interest to all who want to explore and understand more of the history of the Methodist Church and the different traditions within it."--BOOK JACKET. |
