Description

The Doctrines of Methodism Examined and Confuted is a book written in 1765 by an anonymous author who identifies themselves only as a Presbyter of the Church of England. The book is a critique of the religious beliefs and practices of the Methodist movement, which had been founded by John Wesley in the mid-18th century and was rapidly gaining popularity in England and beyond.The author's main argument is that the doctrines of Methodism are fundamentally at odds with the teachings of the Church of England and with the broader Christian tradition. The author takes issue with a number of specific Methodist beliefs, including their emphasis on personal experience and emotionalism, their rejection of predestination, and their rejection of the doctrine of original sin.Throughout the book, the author cites numerous passages from the Bible and from the works of Church fathers and other theologians in support of their arguments. They also draw on their own experiences as a member of the Church of England to provide examples of how Methodist beliefs can lead to confusion and error.Overall, The Doctrines of Methodism Examined and Confuted is a detailed and well-reasoned critique of the Methodist movement from the perspective of a member of the Church of England. While it is certainly a product of its time and reflects the religious and intellectual debates of the 18th century, it remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the development of religious movements in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
