Methodism & Monasticism

by Dr Daniel Reed, Jenny Carpenter (Contributor), Dr Kenneth Carveley (Contributor)

Methodism & Monasticism presents papers delivered at the Methodist Studies Seminar organised by the Oxford Centre for Methodism and Church History on 5 December 2020. They reflect on points of intersection between the seemingly divergent Christian traditions of Methodism and Monasticism. Despite the passage of two hundred years between the Dissolution of the Monasteries in England and Ireland and the origins of Methodism in the eighteenth century, the influence of medieval eremitic orders on the later movement is discernible in its writings and approaches to spiritual life.

Contributors; Jenny Carpenter, Kenneth Carveley, William Gibson, Colin Haydon, Nick Mayhew-Smith, and Linda A. Ryan.
