Overview

The Calvinistic Methodists of Wales were a subset of Welsh Methodism that began following George Whitefield’s teaching, separating themselves from those who followed John Wesley’s Arminianism. This led to a unique identity as Calvinistic Methodists. The historical treatments of Welsh Calvinistic Methodism in this collection highlight this distinct theological tradition’s formation and influence.

The illustrative style of these works brings to life the personalities and events that make up this unique body of believers and its distinct historical setting. Featuring primary source documents, and histories from both an observer and an insider, these volumes give a balanced perspective on the historical practice of Calvinistic Methodists.
