This book delves into the debates and controversies surrounding the establishment of a theological institution within the Wesleyan Methodist Connexion during the 19th century.

It analyzes the theological and educational issues at stake, offering insights into the nature of Wesleyan Methodism and its evolving approach to ministerial training.
