Synopsis

""A Hundred Years of Methodism"" is a book written by Matthew Simpson in 1881 that provides a comprehensive history of the Methodist Church in America. The book covers the period from the founding of the church by John Wesley in the 18th century to the 19th century, when the church had become a major religious institution in the United States. Simpson, who was a prominent Methodist bishop and a close friend of President Abraham Lincoln, draws on his extensive knowledge of Methodist history and his personal experiences to provide a detailed account of the church's growth and development. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the early struggles of the church, its expansion into new regions, its role in the abolitionist movement, and its response to the challenges of the Civil War. Simpson also provides biographical sketches of many of the church's most important figures, including Wesley himself, Francis Asbury, and George Whitefield. Overall, ""A Hundred Years of Methodism"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Methodist Church and its impact on American society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
