About this listen

The definitive history of the Wesleyan movement in the United States.

An expansive, substantive history of the Wesleyan tradition in the United States, Doctrine, Spirit, and Discipline offers a broad survey of the Methodist movement as it developed and spread throughout America, from the colonial era to the present day.

It also provides an theological appraisal of these developments in light of John Wesley's foundational vision. Beginning with Wesley himself, Watson describes the distinctiveness of the tradition at the outset. Then, as history unfolds, he identifies the common set of beliefs and practices which have unified a diverse group of people across the centuries, providing them a common identity through a number of divisions and mergers.

In the midst of the sweeping changes happening in Methodism and the pan-Wesleyan movement today, Watson shows that the heart of the Wesleyan theological tradition is both more expansive and substantive than any singular denominational identity.

"A fresh, panoramic overview of the history of the Methodist movement. . . Promises to be a standard textbook on the history of Methodism for years to come."—TIMOTHY C. TENNENT, Asbury Theological Seminary

The Best Book on Wesleyan History

This book was simply amazing.

It is well written, very concise and yet easy to follow. Not overly academic (like condensed histories can sometimes be). It covers the entire history of the Wesleyan movement from its inception (1730’s) to current.

Kevin Watson has a way of writing that it both informative and yet easy read.

I highly recommend reading any of his books!
