Synopsis

Methodist Review. This 1868 issue of the Methodist Quarterly Review presents a suite of long reviews and essays on theology, biblical interpretation, church history, and missionary policy. It includes critical assessments of contemporary works and theological debates, such as critiques of Schaff’s History of the Christian Church, discussions of scriptural inspiration, and analyses of slavery and emancipation from a Methodist perspective. The piece on Balaam, Balak, and Midian offers scholarly exegesis of Numbers 22–24, tracing prophetic chronology, linguistic cues, and the predicted rise and decline of oppressors, and includes related notes on the separation of Balak and Balaam alongside a biographical sketch of poet William Cowper. Additional articles survey foreign religious intelligence and ecumenical developments, the missionary policy of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and international religious reporting. Across these varied topics, the volume blends biblical interpretation, historiography, social reform, and ecclesiastical policy to map mid-19th-century Protestant scholarship and practice.
