Synopsis

The Methodist Review. This 1860 issue presents doctrinal essays, polemical debates, and global religious intelligence for Methodist readers. It opens with a detailed doctrinal exploration of the Apostles’ Creed, tracing its nature as a creed, its function in early Christianity, and the composite authorship of its articles. The discussion surveys baptism and the two sacraments, and probes controversial points such as the descent into hell, the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, and the Church, as well as the relationship between Scripture, tradition, and ecclesiastical authority. Additional notes address doctrinal debates against Gnosticism and other heresies, and the Creed’s role as a universal summary of apostolic preaching across centuries and denominations. The issue also offers Foreign Religious Intelligence—regional snapshots from Great Britain, Ireland, Germany, France, Italy, Turkey and Eastern Churches—illuminating revival movements, state-church relations, and the globalization of missions. A synopsis of contemporary periodicals highlights debates on the Trinity, biblical criticism, missions, and science in theology. John Ruskin’s biographical-critical essay and Local Summaries on Wesleyanism, the Lord’s Supper, emancipation in the West Indies, and biblical exegesis round out the volume. The overall tone is didactic, edifying, and scholarly, representative of mid-19th-century Protestant periodicals.
