Book Description
The first part of this book presents a detailed survey of the worship of the Methodist Church. It examines the eighteenth-century sources, traces the historical development of distinctive Methodist services such as the Covenant, the Watchnight, and the Lovefeast, considers the Methodist doctrine of the Sacraments, and deals with the place of hymns in Methodist worship. The second part of the book deals with the place and function of form and order in a service of public worship as conducted in the Free Churches, and proceeds to consider the various elements that make up such a service—the hymns, prayers, lessons, sermon, and sacraments. A study of this book will serve as reminder of the two-fold tradition of the people called Methodists with regard to form of worship, which has been both liturgical and free, and it will help preachers and congregations to engage in public worship with a deeper understanding.

Book Description
The understanding of history can be advanced only by the combination or alternation, of analysis and synthesis. Detailed research and generalizing survey are not antiethical but complementary. For a long time, however, the specialist has reigned supreme in our schools. The need is now, surely, for a return to synoptic writing. The present work was undertaken to supply the need of a synthesis. It is a map of a large region, not a geological chart of a square mile or the plan of a single city. Its value, if any, lies in its view of the interrelations of large tracts of social and intellectual life, not in the intensive investigation of narrow fields.

Book Description
Does God really communicate his will to individuals, so that they receive infallible guidance in that sense which the ancient Greeks called enthusiasm? Both the Old Testament and the New maintain that the true prophets received direct advices from God, which, regardless of consequences, they were morally bound to communicate even to the skeptical among their contemporaries. The recent canonization of Joan of Arc is a fresh proof that the Catholics believe in the possibility of private revelations. Luther, Calvin and the English Reformers were hostile to those Anabaptists and others who alleged they were actually receiving new revelations; and early Massachusetts felt that the most dangerous of Anne Hutchinson's heresies was her claim to immediate inspiration; for the motions she followed might not be those of God but the Devil. Dr. Lee sketches the belief in direct inspiration from its Hebraic and Greek roots down to the time of the French Prophets who amazed London. Early Methodism arose in such an atmosphere. He has, therefore, examined the early records of the Methodist movement and gathered evidence from its friends and from its enemies to answer the question: How far did some of the early Methodists believe that they were directly moved by God?
