History Of The Discipline Of The Methodist Episcopal Church by Robert Emory. This volume is a historical study and documentary compilation tracing how the Methodist Discipline—ecclesiastical rules, governance, and doctrine—developed from English antecedents into the American Methodist Episcopal Church, with editorial notes and verbatim quotations from early editions. It covers the late 18th through the early 19th centuries, surveying the shift from societies under English rule to an independent church, the Christmas Conference of 1784, the drafting of the Form of Discipline, and revisions through 1787, 1789, 1790, 1792, and 1796, alongside the Articles of Religion and Doctrinal Tracts. The work situates principal figures such as John Wesley, Thomas Coke, and Francis Asbury, and explains the emergence of episcopal governance and itinerancy, including the three-tier conference system and the roles of preachers and lay leaders. It details the Book Concern, missions, printing and publications, periodicals, education (Cokesbury College), Sunday schools, and the Liberia Mission, among other governance and doctrinal developments. Appendices defend episcopacy and itinerancy; Chapter II introduces the Nature, Design, and General Rules of the United Societies, emphasizing disciplined fellowship and revival.
