The first major reference work on Methodism since the publication of The Encyclopedia of World Methodism in 1974. Nearly forty Methodist theologians and historians contributed dictionary entries that provide basic information about some of the important persons, doctrines, events, and activities. This is an excellent resource on the history of Methodism...a must for all theological collections. --ARBA The writing is clear and informative and the scholarship of uniformly high quality. A very useful reference work recommended for any library needing authoritative information on important Christian denominations in the US. --CHOICE
