Beschreibung:
Paul Wesley Chilcote is a retired professor of historical theology & Wesleyan studies and United Methodist minister. He has taught in seminaries on three continents, including Africa University in Zimbabwe and Wesley College in England. Author or nearly 30 books, Dr. Chilcote's A Faith That Sings received the Saddlebag Award in 2017.
These selections from the writings of early Methodist women vividly illustrate the richness of women's contributions to the life of the church and the legacy of Wesleyan spirituality. The selections reveal a "way of devotion," that is, a way of living out the Christian faith that conjoins personal piety, social action, conversion, and growth in grace. The religious accounts, diaries, and journals; prayers, hymns, and sacred poems; and narrative practical divinity brought together here for the first time, provide a new vantage point from which to view the wonderful spiritual awakening of Wesley's day.
