Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the early history of the Methodist movement, focusing on a group of Oxford students who formed the foundation of the denomination. Emerging from a university rife with vice and excess, this group of devout young men came together to study the Bible and lead a more virtuous life. Their gatherings, originally small and secretive, expanded rapidly as their beliefs began to attract a following. The story traces the development of their teachings, their conflicts with the university establishment, and their eventual success in spreading their message of spiritual renewal throughout England. Explored through letters and first-hand accounts, this book sheds light on the origins of a movement that profoundly influenced religious practices, social reforms, and the broader landscape of British history.
