Synopsis

The Methodist Review. This 1867 issue of the Methodist Quarterly Review surveys theology, church history, ministry, and foreign church intelligence from a distinctly Methodist perspective, defending orthodox faith against Rationalism and clarifying the church’s role in modern America. It opens with a set of programmatic items, including Canadian Methodism and the Canadian Union, the 1833 split and 1847 reconciliation, and the question of imperial oversight, governance and expansion. It confronts educational reform for the ministry, urging inclusivity of the masses, preserving itinerancy, and balancing long pastorates with effective urban leadership. It reviews Clark and Mattison on immortality and resurrection, and discusses Adam Clarke’s preaching and the problem of original mortality in The Original Penalty of the Law. The Methodist Book Concern is profiled as a growing, non-private-profit publishing arm, with debates over profits and unity. Foreign Religious Intelligence reports on Colenso, ritualism, and global Protestant movements. Across essays, the issue champions holiness, practical preaching, and a robust, globally engaged Methodism.
