Published in 1817, The Doctrines and Discipline of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church was the first definitive guide to the
history, beliefs, teachings, and practices of the African Methodist
Episcopal Church. Beginning with a brief history, the book moves
into a presentation of the ""Articles of Religion,"" including the
Trinity, the Word of God, Resurrection, the Holy Spirit, scripture,
original sin and free will, justification, works, the church,
purgatory, the sacraments, baptism, the Lord's Supper, marriage,
church ceremonies, and government. Immediately following the
articles is an extended four-part catechism that more fully
explicates the meanings and implications of the doctrinal
statements.
