Synopsis
This book, written in the 18th Century by a pioneer of the Methodist movement, explores the topics of faith and discipline. It is a foundational text that presents 25 articles of religion alongside a set of detailed instructions for ministers and members of the Methodist church. The author examines original sin and the path to salvation, the role of the Holy Ghost and the sacraments, and the duties expected from members of the church. The text includes guidelines for the church's governance including the role of bishops and elders, quarterly meetings, the licensing of exhorters and the manner in which members could be put on trial for immoral behavior. Its exploration of faith and governance make this an important text for understanding the history of Christianity and Methodism in particular, but also for seeing the evolution of faith-based organizations more broadly.
