"Frederick Dreyer takes a new look at the question and reaches a fresh conclusion. Methodism in its origins owes nothing to either Anglicanism or Dissent. In its defining characteristics, it derives from the Moravian revival, an evangelical movement arising in Germany in the eighteenth century."--BOOK JACKET.

The story of Methodism is much richer and more expansive than John Wesley's sermons and Charles Wesley's hymns. In this book, Methodist theologian Jeffrey W. Barbeau provides a brief and helpful introduction to the history of Methodism—from the time of the Wesleys, through developments in North America, to its diverse and global communion today—as well as its primary beliefs and practices.
