Reviews

""Teasdale employs careful historical analysis while framing the issues of the time with a pastorally informed eye, balancing difficult yet poignant material. This text is a welcome and significant contribution."" --Laceye Warner, Executive Vice Dean, Duke University Divinity School, North Carolina ""Teasdale provides a sharply focused and well-nuanced analysis of the evangelistic mission of Methodism in one of its most critical ages of growth. At a time when the interface of Christianity and culture figures so prominently on the contemporary landscape, this study of developments in the nineteenth century provides important lessons from which we can learn. Many will find this book helpful in the quest to more fully understand American religious culture."" --Paul W. Chilcote, Academic Dean, Professor of Historical Theology and Wesleyan Studies, Ashland Theological Seminary, Ohio
