This book offers a comprehensive examination of Methodist practice, tracing its evolution from the earliest days up to the present. Using liturgical texts as well as written accounts in popular and private sources, Karen Westerfield Tucker investigates the various rites and seasons of worship in Methodism and examines them in relation to American society.
Not the most stimulating reading I've ever done, but this book provides a solid analysis of American Methodist worship and its changes through two centuries. The look forward at the end was very brief and timid.
