Synopsis

This book follows the history of Methodism in Kentucky, particularly its expansion from 1820 to 1832. Prior to 1820, the region had only a small Methodist presence, with less than a dozen members in 1783. By 1832, however, the movement had grown to include eight Annual Conferences with over six hundred traveling preachers and nearly two hundred thousand members in Kentucky alone. The author details the challenges and triumphs of the movement, including issues like the Presiding Elder question, doctrinal controversies, and the expansion of the itinerant ministry. The book provides an intricate examination of the significance of Methodism in the development of religious life in the region.
