The definitive History of the Wesleyan movement in the United States.
TENNENT, Asbury Theological Seminary. --TIMOTHY C.
Promises to be a standard textbook on the History of Methodism for years to come. . .
A fresh, panoramic overview of the History of the Methodist movement.
In the midst of the sweeping changes happening in Methodism and the pan-Wesleyan movement today, Watson shows that the heart of the Wesleyan theological Tradition is both more expansive and substantive than any singular denominational identity.
Then, as History unfolds, he identifies the common set of beliefs and practices which have unified a diverse group of people across the centuries, providing them a common identity through a number of divisions and mergers.
Beginning with Wesley himself, Watson describes the distinctiveness of the Tradition at the outset.
It also provides an theological appraisal of these developments in light of John Wesley\'s foundational vision.
An expansive, substantive History of the Wesleyan Tradition in the United States, Doctrine, Spirit, and Discipline offers a broad survey of the Methodist movement as it developed and spread throughout America, from the colonial era to the present day.
