Methodism, originally founded in the eighteenth century, has grown into a large and influential Protestant denomination. As of 2016, it claimed around 50 million adherents in 80 churches in more than 150 countries. Its history illuminates our understanding of modern culture, ethics, literature, politics, Christian mission, women’s studies, and many related topics. Historical Dictionary of Methodism, Fourth Edition contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 700 cross-referenced entries on important institutions, events, doctrines, and people who have contributed to the movement and to broader society in the three centuries since it was founded. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Methodism as a global movement.
