Francis Asbury, A Biographical Study by Horace M. Du Bose is a comprehensive biography of the life of Francis Asbury, one of the most important figures in the early history of Methodism in America. Asbury was born in England in 1745 and came to America in 1771 as a missionary for the Methodist Church. Over the next 45 years, he traveled extensively throughout the United States, preaching and organizing churches, and became the first bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church in America. Du Bose's book provides a detailed account of Asbury's life, from his early years in England to his travels and work in America. The book explores Asbury's spiritual journey, his relationships with other Methodist leaders, and his role in shaping the early Methodist Church in America. Du Bose also examines the social and political context in which Asbury lived and worked, including issues such as slavery and the American Revolution. Throughout the book, Du Bose draws on a wide range of primary sources, including Asbury's journals and letters, to provide a rich and nuanced portrait of this important historical figure. Francis Asbury, A Biographical Study is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of Methodism in America, the early years of the United States, or the life of one of the most influential religious leaders of his time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
