Most Wesleyan-Holiness churches started in the US, developing out
of the Methodist roots of the nineteenth-century Holiness Movement.
The American origins of the Holiness movement have been charted in
some depth, but there is currently little detail on how it
developed outside of the US. This book seeks to redress this
imbalance by giving a history of North American Wesleyan-Holiness
churches in Australia, from their establishment in the years
following the Second World War, as well as of The Salvation Army,
which has nineteenth-century British origins. It traces the way
some of these churches moved from marginalised sects to established
denominations, while others remained small and isolated. Looking at
The Church of God (Anderson), The Church of God (Cleveland), The
Church of the Nazarene, The Salvation Army, and The Wesleyan
Methodist Church in Australia, the book argues two main points.
Firstly, it shows that rather than being American imperialism at
work, these religious expressions were a creative partnership
between like-minded evangelical Christians from two modern nations
sharing a general cultural similarity and set of religious
convictions. Secondly, it demonstrates that it was those churches
that showed the most willingness to be theologically flexible, even
dialling down some of their Wesleyan distinctiveness, that had the
most success. This is the first book to chart the fascinating
development of Holiness churches in Australia. As such, it will be
of keen interest to scholars of Wesleyans and Methodists, as well
as religious history and the sociology of religion more generally.
