The Story of American Methodism

by Frederick A. Norwood

A comprehensive one-volume history of American Methodism, tracing the development of a new church in a new nation from its beginnings with the Wesleys in England to the changes and challenges of later twentieth-century America. Black Methodism, the contributions of women, theological trends across 200 years--all emerge in clear detail. This book also includes the story of the Evangelical United Brethren Church as part of Methodism, as well as the cultural and religious pluralism of the country today.

I grew up in the Methodist Church and I am a fan of the Wesleys, so I thought this book would be an interesting read. I was wrong. I TRIED to make it through this survey of the Methodist faith, but it was just too dry! On the bright side, it is very detailed!
