Synopsis

"Methodist Review" by George Peck. The January 1845 issue of The Methodist Quarterly Review offers a sequence of extended reviews and critical essays from a Protestant evangelical Methodist perspective. It surveys theology, philosophy, history, mathematics education, and Catholic Church politics, aiming to strengthen faith and civil liberty for Methodist readers. Highlights include: Justification by Faith, arguing against covenant-based theories and imputation-based schemes and defending forensic justification grounded in Christ’s passive obedience; Elements of Algebra praising Cranz’s elementary textbook for clear definitions, progressive structure, and practical teaching features; Kant and Kantism introducing Kant’s life and main ideas (space and time a priori forms, categories, noumena/phenomena) with assessments of religion, morality, and reason; The History of the Puritans defending Neal’s history as a corrective to Macaulay and affirming Puritans as early defenders of religious liberty in America; Policy of the Romish Church tracing Rome’s entanglements with princes and states and warning against papal rhetoric on liberty. The issue consistently treats philosophy and history as tools to bolster evangelical conscience, with a strong anti-Catholic current.
