Synopsis

The Methodist Magazine And Quarterly Review is an 1838 issue of a Methodist periodical that assembles long analytic articles on church history, governance, disputes, and a sectional travelogue on South America. It argues that Wesleyan Methodists did not form a schism by leaving the English Establishment and critiques the Church of England for lacking gospel discipline, canons, and coherent polity, defending Wesley’s return to scriptural principles and an itinerant-minister governance with deacons/elders and an ordained ministry, with Wesley as bishop/overseer. It traces Methodism’s rise, its reform aims, and early compliance with the Church of England while rejecting unbiblical canons and political controls; describes the American Methodist structure post-Revolution. The Cincinnati General Conference (1836) review differentiates slavery as a state issue from abolitionism, recounts debates around O. Scott and W. Winans, and details the Pastoral Address and temperance debates. The South America sketches provide geographic, climatic, and resources overview for mission potential. Notable voices include Charles Elliott, John Wesley, and abolitionist debates; overall tone is scholarly, apologetic, and mission-focused.
