Synopsis

Explore how Methodism fueled a revival of practical religion and shaped Christian life around the world.

This book presents a historical and theological view of how experiential faith, grounded in keeping God’s commandments, has influenced churches and everyday piety. It argues that true religion appears in life and practice, not just in words or creeds, and it contends with how Christian movements work together to advance the gospel.

  • Defines experiential and practical religion as distinct from formalism.
  • Shows how a united Christian influence can advance the Redeemer’s kingdom.
  • Offers a historical perspective on religion’s progress and its present condition.
  • Discusses the role of charity, love, and righteous living in faith.
Ideal for readers of church history, religious reform, and 19th‑century American Methodism.
