This is a major 2008 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, and rules for
housekeeping. 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 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.
