DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Christian idea of a good death had its roots in the Middle Ages with ars moriendi, featuring reliance on Jesus as Savior, preparedness for the life to come and for any spiritual battle that might ensue when on the threshold of death, and death not taking place in isolation. Evangelicalism introduced new features to the good death, with its focus on conversion, sanctification and an intimate relationship with Jesus. Scholarship focused on mid-nineteenth-century evangelical Nonconformist beliefs about death and the afterlife is sparse. This book fills the gap, contributing an understanding not only of death but of the history of Methodist and evangelical Nonconformist piety, theology, social background and literary expression in mid-nineteenth-century England. A good death was as central to Methodism as conversion and holiness. Analyzing over 1,200 obituaries, Riso reveals that while the last words of the dying pointed to a timeless experience of hope in the life to come, the obituaries reflect changing attitudes towards death and the afterlife among nineteenth-century evangelical Nonconformist observers who looked increasingly to earthly existence for the fulfillment of hopes. Exploring tensions in Nonconformist allegiance to both worldly and spiritual matters, this book offers an invaluable contribution to death studies, Methodism, and Evangelical theology.

He has spent a lifetime researching and writing about the rise and significance of John Wesley and his Methodist followers in the eighteenth century and has also uncovered the historical significance of the Methodist Church in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Collected here in this volume are thirteen essays honoring the life and scholarship of Dr. Rack from a host of international scholars in the field. The topics range from Wesley's view of grace in the eighteenth century to the dynamic intersection of the Methodist and Tractarian movements in the nineteenth century.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Benjamin Gregory D.D: Autobiographical Recollections, Edited, With Memorials of His Later Life It has been necessary to refer to controversies in which my father was engaged, and to indicate his views and motives in my own words. It may be well to state that I have re produced my father's Opinion without any intentional colouring of my own. My thanks are due particularly to the widow of my father's brother, the Rev. Theophilus S. Gregory, for placing at my disposal a large number of letters to her husband, some of which are given in this volume; also to those who have con tributed recollections, and my apologies to some of them for inevitable shortening of their communications. I must ac knowledge grateful help of various kinds rendered by the Editor of the Methodist Recorder. It is with some reluctance that I send forth so defective a memorial volume - one falling so far short of the worth of its subject. Bulky biographies, however, are apt to defeat their own purpose.
