This is a major new study of the daily life and spirituality of
early Methodist men and women. Phyllis Mack challenges traditional,
negative depictions of early Methodism through an analysis of a
vast array of primary sources - prayers, pamphlets, hymns, diaries,
recipes, private letters, accounts of dreams, rules for
housekeeping - many of which have never been used before. She
examines how ordinary men and women understood the seismic shift
from the religious culture of the seventeenth century to the
so-called 'disenchantment of the world' that developed out of the
Enlightenment. She places particular emphasis on the experience of
women, arguing that both their spirituality and their contributions
to the movement were different from men's. This revisionist account
sheds new light on how ordinary people understood their experience
of religious conversion, marriage, worship, sexuality, friendship,
and the supernatural, and what motivated them to travel the world
as missionaries.
