The Elect Methodists: Calvinistic Methodism in England and Wales, 1735-1811
Autor David Ceri Jones, Boyd Stanley Schlenther, Eryn Mant Whiteen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 feb 2017
This is the first full-length study of Calvinistic Methodism, a movement that emerged in the eighteenth century as an alternative to the better-known Wesleyan branch. While the Wesleyan grouping has received significant historical attention, Calvinistic Methodism, especially in England, has not. This book locates the source of the eighteenth-century Methodist revival in the Protestant evangelical movement that emerged in continental Europe and colonial North America and then charts the history of the Calvinistic branch in both England and Wales.

Recenzii
“This much-needed volume opens up the history of eighteenth-century Calvinistic Methodism as a single narrative embracing both England and Wales. It offers superb treatment of the larger-than-life individuals who made this Calvinistic movement nearly the equal of its Wesleyan counterpart. . . . This is an important history very well told.”
“This sure-footed volume is likely to become the standard introductory text for all students of early Methodism in its Calvinistic clothing.”
“Because of The Elect Methodists, Calvinistic Methodism will be better represented both in Methodist bibliography and in a richer academic conversation.”
“The Elect Methodists has moved scholarship on the evangelical revival forward by bringing together the interconnected history of early Welsh and English Calvinistic Methodism. The three authors have provided a solid model of collaborative historical writing—indeed, the cleverly-titled book is melded together seamlessly so that it reads like a single author volume.’
