About this title

Synopsis

The Methodist Magazine And Quarterly Review. This 1839 issue compiles long essays and reports across religion, language study, and world missions, presenting a conservative Protestant program that critiques violence and superstition, defends biblical literacy, and advocates missionary work in the Americas and beyond. The content includes essays such as Trials by Ordeal and Single Combat (on dueling), The History of the Hebrew Text; The Study of the Hebrew (William M. Willett), Sketches of South America (Rev. J. Dempster, Part II), Brazil (R. McMurdy), God’s Word the Christian’s Delight (Rev. W. Smith Allen), and Evidence of the Truth of the Christian Religion (Alexander Kerr), along with setting-and-audience notes and discussions of biblical scholarship, missions, and Protestant reform. The pieces address ordination, prophecy, biblical interpretation, travelogues, and literary notices, all oriented toward clergy, missionaries, and educated lay readers in the 1830s American Methodist milieu. The issue reflects concerns with doctrinal coherence, biblical literacy, and an active program of education and evangelism within Methodism.
