Produktbeschreibung

John Wesley Redfield (1810-1863), controversial 'lay' evangelist in the Methodist Episcopal and later Free Methodist churches, was the cofounder of the Free Methodist Church and in the 1840s and 50s had a broad ministry in the M.E. Church and beyond. An outspoken abolitionist, Redfield was controversial among Methodist leaders and in the M.E. press as his revivals typically were marked by dramatic emotional manifestations, including people being slain in the Spirit and dramatic conversions.

Rezensionen

Dr. Snyder has done Methodist historians a great service with his meticulous editing of Redfield's entertaining, startlingly vivid autobiography. Methodist History American revivalist Redfield resisted the creeping respectability as Methodists began building large churches with stained glass and organs and tolerating dancing, card playing, novel reading, and jewelry. His recollections reveal a particular position within the debate that wracked the denomination during the 19th century. Published in collaboration with the Center for the Study of World Christian Revitalization Movements, Asbury Theological Seminary. Reference and Research Book News, August 2006
