You won't meet anyone!, April 14 2004
This review is from: Meet The Methodists Revised (Paperback)
As an active Methodist, a devotee of John Wesley, and a reader of many tomes on this denomination, I found this book poor on almost every score. You won't get to know any great Methodists well from this book. You also won't learn much about Methodist doctrine.
You will get a watered-down, highly liberal slant on what the United Methodist Church is up to today, with a little skewed history tossed in. If that's what you want, order it. If you want to find out about Wesley, order a biography or his own writings instead. If you want to learn about Methodist Doctrine, read the nice little volume of that title by Campbell.

Sharp Little Book, Feb 15 2004
This review is from: Meet The Methodists Revised (Paperback)
This is an excellent introduction to the history and beliefs of Methodism. For anyone who wants a good introduction to John Wesley and the Methodists, this is it. I've used it to teach new-member classes and have found it to be very helpul!
