Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation explores the formation of social capital and middle-class culture on the revolutionary frontier. As a lens, I use Methodism, an evangelical movement rooted in the British colonial period that flourished in the American Revolutionary Era and by the Civil War accounted for one in three American church members. Methodism was more than the fastest growing major religious movement in early American history. Combining social theory with manuscript, print, and demographic sources, I argue that Methodism, by circulating itinerants and founding religious societies, was a powerful force for creating social and political capital. My study is the first to appraise Methodism's role in the development of settler colonialism in the Old Southwest and the southerly regions of the Old Northwest. My research uncovers practices of social exchange and epistolary culture among Methodist men and women (who were the majority of members) to explain how Protestant Christianity transitioned from a discursive role-as a justification for indigenous dispossession-to a technique for possession. Methodism engendered social networks, disseminated knowledge, and aided pursuits of land development and commerce among middling settlers. These benefits of religious association were valuable social and economic resources, and they preceded the formal evangelical politics of the late antebellum era. They were the soil from which grassroots evangelical political power grew.

Download or read book Methodism in the American Forest written by Russell E. Richey and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2015 Saddleback Selection Award from the Historical Society of The United Methodist Church During the nineteenth century, camp meetings became a signature program of American Methodists and an extraordinary engine for their remarkable evangelistic outreach. Methodism in the American Forest explores the ways in which Methodist preachers interacted with and utilized the American woodland, and the role camp meetings played in the denomination's spread across the country. Half a century before they made themselves such a home in the woods, the people and preachers learned the hard way that only a fool would adhere to John Wesley's mandate for preaching in fields of the New World. Under the blazing American sun, Methodist preachers sought and found a better outdoor sanctuary for large gatherings: under the shade of great oaks, a natural cathedral where they held forth with fervid sermons. The American forests, argues Russell E. Richey, served the preachers in several important ways. Like a kind of Gethesemane, the remote, garden-like solitude provided them with a place to seek counsel from the Holy Spirit. They also saw the forest as a desolate wilderness, and a means for them to connect with Israel's years after the Exodus and Jesus's forty days in the desert after his baptism by John. The dauntless preachers slashed their way through, following America's expanding settlement, and gradually sacralizing American woodlands as cathedral, confessional, and spiritual challenge-as shady grove, as garden, and as wilderness. The threefold forest experience became a Methodist standard. The meeting of Methodism's basic governing body, the quarterly conference, brought together leadership of all levels. The event stretched to two days in length and soon great crowds were drawn by the preaching and eventually the sacraments that were on offer. Camp meetings, if not a Methodist invention, became the movement's signature, a development that Richey tracks throughout the years that Methodism matured, to become a central denomination in America's religious landscape.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the decision to provide of a scholarly edition of the Works of John Wesley in the 1950s, Methodist Studies emerged as a fresh academic venture.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of Methodism in the Old Southwest, 1783-1824 The influence Of religious groups in Western life has indeed been so large that it seems remarkable that church history has failed to keep step with the political and social history Of Amer ica. Within recent years there have appeared several studies Of frontier churches, but the subject yet lies undisturbed below the surface. This book traces the development in the Old Southwest of the Methodist Episcopal Church from 1783, when it first appeared west of the Alleghenies, until 1824, when it may be considered to have assumed definite shape. By this time the organization Of the church had reached approximately the same form which it has today. To have continued the study beyond 1824 would have introduced no new phases Of structure other than the adjustment Of expansion into more distant regions. Some articles and portions of articles previously published in the Mississippi Valley Historical Review, Tennessee Historical Magazine, Social Science, and Nashville Christian Advocate have been brought together in this book, and for permission to use them again I am indebted to the editors of these journals. The suggestion Of this study and the pleasure Of inspiration came from the late Walter L. Fleming, an affectionate student Of Southern life. For innumerable criticisms and guidance I owe much to Dr. William C. Binkley, Of Vanderbilt University, whose scholarship and critical acumen have been invaluable. For reading and criticizing the manuscript I am indebted to Dr. Carl S. Driver and Dr. Frank L. Owsley Of Vanderbilt University; Dr. Arthur P. Whitaker Of Cornell University; Dr. William W. Sweet Of the University Of Chicago. TO my friend and colleague, Profes sor Wilbur D. Perry, Of birmingham-southern College, I am grateful for commas and colons. Justice demands an expression of indebtedness to my wife who has read and helped to revise the manuscript.
