Why did the Wesleyan Methodists and the Anglican evangelicals
divide during the middle of the eighteenth century? Many would
argue that the division between them was based narrowly on
theological matters, especially predestination and perfection. Ryan
Danker suggests, however, that politics was a major factor
throughout, driving the Wesleyan Methodists and Anglican
evangelicals apart. Methodism was perceived to be linked with the
radical and seditious politics of the Cromwellian period. This was
a charged claim in a post-Restoration England. Likewise Danker
explores the political force of resurgent Tory influence under
George III, which exerted more pressure on evangelicals to prove
their loyalty to the Establishment. These political realities made
it hard for evangelicals in the Church of England to cooperate with
Wesley and meant that all their theological debates were
politically inflected. Rich in detail, here is a book for all who
seek deeper insight into a critical juncture in the development of
evangelicalism and early Methodism.
