Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of a pivotal moment in American religious history, the formation of the Free Methodist Church. The author, who was himself a central figure in the movement, vividly recounts the conflict that led to the Free Methodistsââ ⢠separation from the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1860. The author argues that the Free Methodist movement was not a product of fanaticism, as some have claimed, but rather a return to the original principles of Wesleyan Methodism, including a strong emphasis on Christian perfection. He meticulously dismantles the accusations of secret societies and fanaticism leveled against the Free Methodists, relying on firsthand testimony from prominent figures within the Genesee Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The author presents a detailed account of the events leading up to the separation, including the influence of the slavery debate and the use of secret meetings by those opposed to the movement. The book offers a nuanced and compelling look at the tensions between tradition and reform within a major American denomination, providing valuable insights into the dynamics of religious movements and the persistence of theological debates.
