History & Biography

“Steven Bruns tells the story that explains why American Methodists did not follow John Wesley in observing the Lord's Supper as ‘the means of grace par excellence.’ This book is a must-read for anyone who cares about recovering the spiritual substance of the original Methodist movement in England, for genuine reform begins with understanding. Fortunately for us, this story is told clearly with just the right amount of pertinent detail.”

The astonishing richness of this collection of works from both the East and the West reminds us that the Christian way of life, when practiced, brings hope to the world in every age.”
