| Résumé : |
The prodigious horseback ministry of John Wesley in the eighteenth century ranks as a saga of Christian faith. By his exertions Wesley inspired, organized, and welded 'the people called Methodists' into a church which has today grown Into the greatest force in the Protestant world. The Vice-Principal of Didsbury College, Bristol, outlines In this new book the history of the Methodist Church since Wesley's day and discusses its present condition. He shows how Methodism has, in fact, been a recurrent brand of Christianity since the earliest times. Describing John Wesley's personal religious development, his proclamation of the orthodox doctrines of the Christian Church with his own particular emphases, and his extraordinary power over men’s minds, as well as the Importance of Charles Wesley's poetry, he succeeds in correcting many false Images of Methodism.
With the tide set in the direction of Christian unity, his estimate of the contribution which world-wide Methodism can make to the 'coming great Church’ necessarily commands both interest and respect. |
