Synopsis

The Methodist Review is an 1866 issue that blends American church politics, interdenominational relations, and foreign religious intelligence with book reviews and philosophical essays. It threads together post–Civil War ecclesiastical crises, ecumenical dialogue, and European religious developments. The American church section examines the Southern Methodist Church and colored missions, including statistical analyses of postwar African American membership, calls for broader Christian philanthropy, and discussions of education and mission strategy. It also covers inter-church relations, highlighting that AME delegates request transfer of congregations and properties, the potential for black congregations to join a Negro denomination, and northern–south dialogue on unity and polity. Foreign religious intelligence surveys Anglican–Roman Catholic relations, Unitarian tensions, Orthodox and Protestant dialogues, and liberal movements in Europe, with attention to church authority, creed, and the role of the state. The issue also includes eschatological and ecclesiological essays, such as interpretations of Antichrist, the Greek Church in relation to Protestantism, and reflectively teleological pieces on America’s civilizational mission. Biographical sketches of Frederick W. Robertson and Milton’s Early Life conclude the volume, offering critical portraits of religious reformers and poets influencing 19th?century thought.
