Synopsis
The History, Constitution. And Confession Of Faith Of The Calvinistic Methodists In Wales, Drawn Up By Their Own Associated Ministers The book provides a comprehensive portrait of the Welsh Calvinistic Methodists, charting their formation, rules, and faith. It combines a historical introduction detailing the Welsh Revival of the early eighteenth century, the roles of Howel Harris, Daniel Rowlands, Griffith Jones, and William Williams, and the growth of private Societies, monthly and quarterly Associations, and chapels across Wales. It then sets out the Constitution and Church Government, defining Private Societies, Monthly Meetings, and the Quarterly Association, and describing the process for ordination to administer Baptism and the Lord's Supper. The Confession of Faith presents a detailed Reformed doctrinal system: the Being of God, the Holy Scriptures, the Trinity, the decrees, creation, providence, the Fall, salvation by Christ, justification by faith, adoption, regeneration, sanctification, saving faith, repentance unto life, the moral law, good works, peace of conscience, assurance, perseverance, and the church and its ordinances. An Appendix adds notes on the practical life of Methodists and further historical context.
