The dominant activities of the eighteenth century Wesleyan
Methodist Connexion, in terms of expenditure, were the support of
itinerant preaching, and the construction and maintenance of
preaching houses. These were supported by a range of both regular
and occasional flows of funds, primarily from members'
contributions, gifts from supporters, various forms of debt
finance, and profits from the Book Room. Three other areas of
action also had significant financial implications for the
movement: education, welfare, and missions. The Financing of John
Wesley's Methodism c.1740-1800 describes what these activities
cost, and how the money required was raised and managed. Though
much of the discussion is informed by financial and other
quantitative data, Clive Norris examines a myriad of human
struggles, and the conflict experienced by many early Wesleyan
Methodists between their desire to spread the Gospel and the
limitations of their personal and collective resources. He
describes the struggle between what Methodists saw as the
promptings of Holy Spirit and their daily confrontation with
reality, not least the financial constraints which they faced.
