Synopsis

Methodist ReviewThis 1850 issue of the Methodist Quarterly Review surveys Protestant thought, biographical sketches, travel and missionary reportage, biblical interpretation, and literary notices through a sustained evangelical lens. It opens with a portrait of Bishop Warburton, outlining his rise, major works, friendships, sermons, and polemics, and offers a nuanced view of his influence on theology and biblical criticism. The issue includes a long California article (1846–1850) on overland routes, Great Basin geography, Mormon settlements, and the prospect of commerce and rail links, followed by Short Reviews and Notices across philosophy, theology, geography, biography, and reference works. Additional pieces survey German religious life circa 1850, a doctrinal exegesis on the corner-stone motif, a note on August Neander’s death, and educational and publishing initiatives by the American Sunday-School Union. Local summaries present critiques of baptism, ministerial theory, and Morell’s philosophy of religion, along with Plutarch’s Life review, Oregon exploration, and Jesse Lee’s life. Overall, the issue defends evangelical orthodoxy and pastoral fidelity while surveying contemporary religious and geopolitical shifts.
