Contents:
Identity and challenge: defining early English evangelicalism -- Movement and conversion: Wesley in the trans-atlantic revival -- Propaganda and power: the revival under fire -- Politics and polity: Methodist structure and the question of dissent -- Enclaves and incursions: the geography of evangelicalism -- Eucharist and ethos: the formation of Methodist identity -- Hegemony and casualties: the Oxford expulsions of 1768 -- Vision and divergence: a new Anglican historiography -- Constrained to deviate.
Summary: Why did the Wesleyan Methodists and the Anglican evangelicals divide during the middle of the eighteenth century? Many say it was based narrowly on theological matters. Ryan Nicholas Danker suggests that politics was a major factor driving them apart. Rich in detail, this study offers deep insight into a critical juncture in evangelicalism and early Methodism.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
