This book explores the rise of Methodism from its unpromising origins as a religious society within the Church of England in the 1730s to a major international religious movement by the 1880s. During that period Methodism refashioned the old denominational order in the British Isles, became the largest religious denomination in the United States, and gave rise to the most dynamic world missionary movement of the nineteenth century. By the end of the nineteenth century, Methodism had circled the globe and was poised to become one of the fastest-growing religious traditions in the modern world.  aElectronic reproduction.bBoulder, Colo. :cNetLibrary,d2007.nAvailable via World Wide Web.nAccess may be limited to NetLibrary affiliated libraries. 0aMethodismxHistoryy18th century. 0aMethodismxHistoryy19th century.17aMethodisme.2gtt 7aElectronic books.2local2 aNetLibrary, Inc.1 cOriginalz0300106149z9780300106145w(DLC)  2004024637w(OCoLC)567988534 3Bibliographic record displayuhttp://www.netLibrary.com/urlapi.asp?action=summary&v=1&bookid=187650zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information  acpp2430  a02bN$T  c49098d49098
