A History Of The Methodist Episcopal Church is a comprehensive account of the origins, growth, and development of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States. Written by Nathan Bangs, a prominent Methodist minister and historian, the book covers the period from the founding of the church in the late 18th century to the mid-19th century. The book begins with an overview of the religious landscape in America at the time of the church's founding, including the influence of the Great Awakening and the role of the Anglican Church. It then traces the early years of the Methodist Episcopal Church, including the growth of the denomination through the spread of circuit riders and the establishment of regional conferences. The book also covers the major theological and social issues that the church faced during its early years, including debates over slavery, the role of women in the church, and the relationship between the church and the state. It explores the leadership of prominent figures such as Francis Asbury and Thomas Coke, and the impact of the Second Great Awakening on the church's growth and development.Throughout the book, Bangs provides detailed accounts of the church's organizational structure, including the role of bishops, presiding elders, and local pastors. He also explores the church's relationship with other denominations, including the rise of the evangelical movement and the emergence of new religious groups such as the Mormons.Overall, A History Of The Methodist Episcopal Church is a comprehensive and detailed account of the growth and development of one of America's most influential religious denominations. It provides a valuable resource for scholars and students of American religious history, as well as for anyone interested in the history of the Methodist Church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
