Synopsis

"The Methodist Review". This 1874 issue presents a comprehensive blend of religious journalism, theological controversy, and public policy within American Methodism and transatlantic church affairs. Part 3 surveys foreign church relations and continental theology, from the Old Catholic movement in Germany and Switzerland to Protestant-Catholic dynamics in Europe, and provides critical engagement with German, Liberal, and Mercersburg thought, infant baptism debates, and modern biblical interpretation. It also chronicles American concerns: Reconstruction-era politics, party unity, and critiques of corruption, alongside vigorous intra-Methodist debate over entire sanctification, Wesleyan exclusivity, and antinomian tendencies. The volume surveys doctrinal figures (Rothe, Hodge, Krauth, Dorner, Bell, Crane, Lowrey) and the spectrum of theological literature, including discussions of miracles in the New Testament. A substantial Supplement argues for universal, compulsory public education and presents statistics and policy recommendations for attendance laws and non-sectarian schooling. The issue closes with book reviews, biographical sketches, and an interest in education, mission, and centennial national renewal within American Methodism.
