Excerpt from Concise History of the Methodist Protestant Church From Its Origin, Vol. 3: Embracing the Circumstances of the Suspension of the Northern and Western Conferences in 1858, the Entire Career of the Methodist Church, and the Reunion of the Two Branches in 1877 The writer has endeavored to pursue an originality of statement, eschewing certain threadbare points, which the reader would not desire to have reiterated. And a variety of facts and incidents are here given which have not before met the eye of the reader. The writer has aimed at conciseness, in view of bringing the work into one volume, so that its cost may adapt it to general circulation. Hence many may be disappointed not to find here local and personal details, which would have so swelled the work as to require another volume, which might easily have been produced. Let it here be remarked, if Mr. Williams in his History presented most fully the record of transactions in and about his city (baltimore), and if Dr. Paris, in his History, dwelt most in detail upon transactions in his State (north Caro lina), it can not be thought amiss that this writer, a life-long resident and laborer in the North and West, should present more at large the historical facts pertaining to that wing of the church, though giving in sufficient detail the record of the other localities.

Strong (history of Christianity, Wesley Theological Seminary, Washington, DC) tells the little known story of ecclesiastical abolitionism, an important movement during the antebellum period. It involved radical evangelical Protestants who seceded from pro-slavery denominations and reorganized themselves into independent anti-slavery congregations. He also explores how the network of churches in New York State formed a political wing as the Liberty Party and legitimized the connection between church and state.

Margaret Meuse Clay, who barely escaped a public whipping in the 1760s for preaching without a license; "Old Elizabeth," an ex-slave who courageously traveled to the South to preach against slavery in the early nineteenth century; Harriet Livermore, who spoke in front of Congress four times between 1827 and 1844--these are just a few of the extraordinary women profiled in this, the first comprehensive history of female preaching in early America. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Catherine Brekus examines the lives of more than a hundred female preachers--both white and African American--who crisscrossed the country between 1740 and 1845. Outspoken, visionary, and sometimes contentious, these women stepped into the pulpit long before twentieth-century battles over female ordination began. They were charismatic, popular preachers, who spoke to hundreds and even thousands of people at camp and revival meetings, and yet with but a few notable exceptions--such as Sojourner Truth--these women have essentially vanished from our history. Recovering their stories, Brekus shows, forces us to rethink many of our common assumptions about eighteenth- and nineteenth-century American culture.
