Synopsis
"What Every Methodist Should Know" is a comprehensive and accessible guide to the history, foundational beliefs, and organizational structure of the Methodist Church. Written by the prominent evangelist and preacher George Rutledge Stuart, this work was designed to serve as a handbook for both new members and seasoned congregants seeking a deeper understanding of their denomination's identity.
The text explores the origins of the movement, beginning with the life and ministry of John Wesley, and traces the growth and evolution of Methodism in the United States. It provides a clear exposition of the Articles of Religion and the core theological tenets that distinguish the Methodist tradition. Beyond spiritual doctrine, Stuart offers practical insights into the governance of the church, detailing the functions of the General Conference, the roles of bishops and ministers, and the responsibilities of the laity.
Written with clarity and conviction, "What Every Methodist Should Know" emphasizes the importance of connectionalism and social responsibility. It remains a significant historical resource for understanding the pastoral efforts to educate and unify the Methodist community during the early 20th century, offering a window into the values and administrative practices of the church.
