Wesley and the People Called Methodists Second Edition Richard P Heitzenrater Books Reviews
- Excellent reading. As someone brought up in a Methodist church, this filled in a great many gaps for me. Heitzenrater does an excellent job of producing a readable work on an important topic. I encourage anyone calling themselves a Methodist to read this one cover to cover. The only - only - thing I wish were included, perhaps as an appendix, is a compare/contrast exercise on true Wesleyan Methodism and contemporary Methodism. (To be clear, I'm defending neither one as correct - just pointing out that there are some differences.) Certainly this will vary from church to church, but I think it would have been an illuminating discussion.
Last, I am grateful to Heitzenrater for writing what I would describe as an agnostic, purely historical account. Almost never does Heitzenrater inject his own theology into the work. This is a work of non-fiction that allows the reader to draw their own conclusions rather that simply be spoon-fed the author's doctrines. - Very good synopsis of Wesley and the history of Methodism, especially as it relates directly to Wesley. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to know more about the history of John Wesley or the background and roots of the Methodist faith. I used it for background to teach a Sunday School class on this very topic.
- Good detail and well research book. Information was very helpful in preparing for a lesson on the Wesley's.
- This is the first place you should look for information about the history of Methodism and the rise of the Wesleyan movement. Heitzenrater does a phenomenal job at making the complex history approachable. A must for every Methodist!
- Great product. Thank you so much for your efficiency.
- Provides a great picture of the rise and work of Methodism.
- I wanted further information on the start of the Methodist faith and this book was recommended. It filled that need very well.
- There's a lot of information in this volume, most of it new to me. It's nice to know that John Wesley was a man in search of God, just like me.
