Synopsis

""The Difficulties of Arminian Methodism: A Series of Letters, Addressed to Bishop Simpson, of Pittsburgh"" is a book written by William Annan in 1860. The book is a collection of letters that were sent to Bishop Simpson, who was the Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Pittsburgh at the time. The letters address the difficulties that Arminian Methodism faced during that period. Arminian Methodism is a branch of Methodism that emphasizes the free will of individuals in their salvation. The book discusses the challenges that Arminian Methodism faced in terms of theological differences, church governance, and the relationship between the church and the state. The letters also provide insights into the debates and discussions that were taking place within the Methodist Episcopal Church during that time. Overall, ""The Difficulties of Arminian Methodism"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Methodism and the challenges faced by religious institutions in the United States during the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In conversation a number of years ago with an esteemed friend, tho Rev. (now Dr.) James Linn, of Bellefonte, Pa. the preparation of this work was first suggested.

It has been the aim of the author to make his book, as far as possible, a full and satisfactory expose of the polemical weaknesses of modern A rminianism. For this end he has gone to the fountains, to the accredited authorities of Episcopal Methodism. It has been his earnest desire to make her best and ablest writers speak for themselves. In connection with Arminian errors, he has also given a concise statement of revealed truth. An entirely new feature in the re-construction of this work, is the review of the Objections to Calvinism, a work highly eulogized by Bishop Simpson, of Pittsburgh. This book has been constantly by our side, its most important and objectionable characteristics have been fairly stated, and if we mistake not, fully invalidated; and in not a few instances, we trust, logically thrown back upon its author and indorsers. In reading these Objections to Calvinism, and indeed in every other work from the same general source, we are constantly reminded of Bishop Horsely sadvice to his clergy, in his last charge: Take special care, said he, in aiming your shafts at Calvinism, that yon know what Calvinism is, and that you can
