商品簡介
A hush falls over the crowded chapel as a single voice rises, steady and searching, drawing listeners into the heart of eighteenth-century religious debate. Here, the pulse of early Methodism beats through every page, capturing the fervour of a movement that reshaped Protestant teachings and left an indelible mark on Christian faith exploration. These spiritual writings, composed during a time of profound social and theological upheaval, offer a window into the convictions and questions that defined an era. With a clarity both gentle and unflinching, the essays and sermons collected here delve into the core tenets of Methodist theology, grappling with the challenges of Christian doctrine and the lived realities of belief. What emerges is not a distant historical record, but a living dialogue-one that invites readers to wrestle with questions of grace, duty, and the search for spiritual meaning. The language, at once elegant and direct, bridges centuries to speak to anyone drawn to the complexities of religious thought and the enduring quest for understanding. Those with an interest in historical Christian texts or the origins of the Methodist Church will find themselves immersed in a rich tapestry of reflection, where each argument and meditation is shaped by the urgency of faith in a changing world.
