About this title

Synopsis

In an age of revival, controversy and expanding empires, The Methodist Magazine: Designed as a Compend of Useful Knowledge and of Religious and Missionary Intelligence gathers the living pulse of early 19th century Methodism. The faith here still burns. Issued for the year of our Lord 1826, this 19th century Christian periodical and Methodist religious magazine reflects the concerns, convictions and consolations of the Methodist Episcopal Church within the wider John Wesley Methodist tradition, as evangelical Christian theology, devotion and public witness were being reshaped at the height of 1820s Protestant missions. Bringing together missionary reports, Christian devotional essays and thoughtful reflections on doctrine, experience and conduct, this missionary reports collection offers an intimate window into Methodist missionary work, spiritual practice and everyday piety. Accessible prose and heartfelt spirituality make it as rewarding for the curious general reader as for the seasoned historian. Readers encounter the language, priorities and hopes of a movement intent on holiness of heart and life, from local societies to distant mission stations. For church history researchers it stands as a primary resource for Methodist studies and Methodist Episcopal Church history; for pastors, students and lay believers it serves as a companion in prayer, preaching preparation and historical reflection on a living tradition. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
