Kevin M. Watson offers the first in-depth examination of an
essential early Methodist tradition: the band meeting, a small
group of five to seven people who focused on the confession of sin
in order to grow in holiness. Watson shows how the band meeting,
which figured significantly in John Wesley's theology of
discipleship, united Wesley's emphasis on the importance of
holiness with his conviction that Christians are most likely to
make progress in the Christian life together, rather than in
isolation. Demonstrating that neither John Wesley's theology nor
popular Methodism can be understood independent of each other,
Watson explores how Wesley synthesized important aspects of
Anglican piety (an emphasis on a disciplined practice of the means
of grace) and Moravian piety (an emphasis on an experience of
justification by faith and the witness of the Spirit) in his own
version of the band meeting. Pursuing Social Holiness is an
essential contribution to understanding the critical role of the
band meeting in the development of British Methodism and shifting
concepts of community in eighteenth-century British society.
