This book looks at the role of Methodism in the Revolutionary and
early national South. When the Methodists first arrived in the
South, Lyerly argues, they were critics of the social order. By
advocating values traditionally deemed "feminine," treating white
women and African Americans with considerable equality, and
preaching against wealth and slavery, Methodism challenged Southern
secular mores. For this reason, Methodism evoked sustained
opposition, especially from elite white men. Lyerly analyzes the
public denunciations, domestic assaults on Methodist women and
children, and mob violence against black Methodists. These attacks,
Lyerly argues, served to bind Methodists more closely to one
another; they were sustained by the belief that suffering was
salutary and that persecution was a mark of true faith.
