Doctrine, Spirit, and Discipline |
A History of the Wesleyan Tradition in the United States |
"A fresh, panoramic overview of the history of the Methodist movement...." —TIMOTHY C. TENNENT, professor of world Christianity, Asbury Theological Seminary |
"Inspirational... A book for now and future generations." —JO ANNE LYON, general superintendent emerita, the Wesleyan Church |
"What Kevin Watson has achieved here is significant: a history of American Methodism that encompasses doctrine, polity, social change, evangelism, and mission. . . . Highly recommended." —ANDREW C. THOMPSON, lead pastor, First Methodist Church, Tulsa, Oklahoma |
An expansive, substantive history of the Wesleyan tradition in the United States, Doctrine, Spirit, and Discipline offers a broad survey of the Methodist movement as it developed and spread throughout America, from the colonial era to the present day. | In the midst of the sweeping changes happening in Methodism and the pan-Wesleyan movement today, Watson shows that the heart of the Wesleyan theological tradition is both more expansive and substantive than any singular denominational identity. |
