Description
This course examines the development of American Methodism, from its origins during the life of John Wesley as an 18th century movement to its growth in the U.S. as multiple denominations. Attention is also given to the expansion of the Methodist Episcopal Church and Methodist Episcopal Church, South beyond the U.S. in the second half of the 19th century. Building on Wesley's thought, it addresses developments and modifications by his 19th and 20th century theological heirs and successors, especially in North America; and on contemporary discussions of doctrine and theology in the UMC. This course is taught in conjunction with The Candler School of Theology at Emory University as DS 501
