[J. Ewbank · Rating 3 out of 5]

I am very interested in the theology of the United Methodist Church and have written two books about the theology of its founder, John Wesley. I was looking for a study of the areas of theology but instead the book focused on the forgotten works of John Wesley (the church has not fully mined them), the Evangelical Brethren's addition to the United Methodist Church, problems between Black and White in their understanding of theology, worship in the home and our interest in public education, as well as morals and our place in the ecumenical movement. Some of the time is spent in the 1800's to 1900's. It did have interesting information, just not what I thought it might be about.
