Overview

This is the first full-length study of Calvinistic Methodism, a movement that emerged in the eighteenth century as an alternative to the better-known Wesleyan branch. While the Wesleyan grouping has received significant historical attention, Calvinistic Methodism, especially in England, has not. This book locates the source of the eighteenth-century Methodist revival in the Protestant evangelical movement that emerged in continental Europe and colonial North America and then charts the history of the Calvinistic branch in both England and Wales.

'This much-needed volume opens up the history of eighteenth-century Calvinistic Methodism as a single narrative embracing both England and Wales. It offers superb treatment of the larger-than-life individuals who made this Calvinistic movement nearly the equal of its Wesleyan counterpart - including Griffith Jones, Daniel Rowland, and Howel Harris (Wales), the Countess of Huntington and Thomas Haweis (England), and George Whitefield (everywhere). The book also succeeds in explaining why Calvinistic Methodism faded in England while becoming a permanent part of the Welsh religious landscape. This is an important history very well told.' - Mark A. Noll, Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History at the University of Notre Dame
