Exploring early religious debates and doctrinal disputes of the Methodist era
A thoughtful examination of how faith, grace, and obedience were understood in a period of sharp religious controversy. This edition presents pointed arguments about justification, the role of works, and the interpretation of Scripture, framed as a dialogue with leaders of that movement.
The text analyzes how religious writers defended the supremacy of Scripture and the gift of faith, while addressing objections about merits, baptism, and the once-for-all nature of Christ’s sacrifice. It situates these debates in the broader context of church authority, confessional clarity, and the practical implications for a believer’s daily life. Readers will encounter careful argument, historical references, and a clear emphasis on applying biblical teaching to modern faith."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an 18th century examination of the evangelical revival, and Methodist movement in particular, which engaged the interest of both religious and non-religious readers. The author was a clergyman and don at Cambridge and questioned both the emotionalism and the theology of the new movement. He rejected the idea that faith came through the operation of the spirit and miracles and predicted that the excesses of Methodist enthusiasm would wane - a prediction borne out by the development of Wesleyanism into a respectable religious denomination.
