Описание: This book explores the life and spirituality of John Cennick (1718-55) and argues for a new appreciation of the contradictions and complexities in early evangelicalism.
Описание: Warren Felt Evans (1817–1889) converted to Methodism while at Dartmouth College, became a minister, and spent his Methodist years as a spiritual seeker. His two extant journals, edited and annotated by Catherine L. Albanese, appear in print for the first time and reveal the inner journey of a leading American spiritual pilgrim at a critical period in his religious search. A voracious reader, he recorded accounts of intense religious experience in his journals. He moved from the Oberlin perfectionism he embraced early on, through the French quietism of Madame J. Guyon and Archbishop F?nelon, then into Swedenborgianism, spiritualism, and mind cure with distinct theosophical overtones. His carefully documented journey is suggestive of the similar journeys of the religious seekers who made their way into the burgeoning metaphysical movement at the end of the 19th century—and may shed light too on today's spirituality.

This work is concerned with important facts and incidents connected with the rise and progress of Methodism in New Jersey within the first twenty years of its history, along with sketches of most of the ministers of this period, and several of the more prominent and influential laymen. "The first of this sect, of whom we have any information, was John Early, a native of Ireland, where he was born in the year 1738. He immigrated to this country in 1764, and settled in New Jersey." But, it is the zealous Captain Thomas Webb (preaching as early as 1770) that must be credited with laying the foundation of Methodism in New Jersey, and inspiring the first class-reader, Joseph Toy. The early efforts of Bishop Asbury, the first conference of 1773 followed by subsequent conferences up to 1789, the first church, progress in Burlington and New Mills, Benjamin Abbott and Salem, brief sketches of preachers: Watters, Pillmore, Ivy, Tunnell, Everett, Rowe, Thomas, Spry, Ringold, Hickson, and Magary, and much more are covered. Adams, Borden, Brush, Chew, Cloud, Combs, Coke, Cook, Cooper, Cox, Crane, Cromwell, Duke, Dudley, Ellis, Fidler, Foster, Garrettson, Gill, Greentree, Haggerty, Heiser, Jackson, James, Lee, Merrick, Metcalf, Mills, Molliner, Morrell, Ogden, Partridge, Pedicord, Phoebus, Pyle, Sears, Shadford, Shaw, Sparks, Sterling, Swain, Walker, Ware, and Wesley are some of the many names that pepper these pages.

Описание: This book answers the complex debate over predestination by setting out the definitive account of the `Free Grace` controversy in first decade of the Evangelical Revival (1739-49).
In 1770 there were fewer than 1,000 Methodists in America. Fifty years later, the church counted more than 250,000 adherents. Identifying Methodism as America's most significant large-scale popular religious movement of the antebellum period, John H. Wigger reveals what made Methodism so attractive to post-revolutionary America.
Taking Heaven by Storm shows how Methodism fed into popular religious enthusiasm as well as the social and economic ambitions of the "middling people on the make"--skilled artisans, shopkeepers, small planters, petty merchants--who constituted its core. Wigger describes how the movement expanded its reach and fostered communal intimacy and "intemperate zeal" by means of an efficient system of itinerant and local preachers, class meetings, love feasts, quarterly meetings, and camp meetings. He also examines the important role of African Americans and women in early American Methodism and explains how the movement's willingness to accept impressions, dreams, and visions as evidence of the work and call of God circumvented conventional assumptions about education, social standing, gender, and race.
A pivotal text on the role of religion in American life, Taking Heaven by Storm shows how the enthusiastic, egalitarian, entrepreneurial, lay-oriented spirit of early American Methodism continues to shape popular religion today.
