Methodism in the Modern World (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025840925)

"Methodism in the Modern World" provides a comprehensive examination of the Methodist movement's place within the evolving social and theological landscape of the early twentieth century. Edited by the influential theologian and church leader John Scott Lidgett, this collection of essays delves into the core tenets of Methodism, its historical evolution, and its contemporary mission. The work addresses vital themes such as the relationship between faith and modern science, the social responsibilities of the church, and the global expansion of Methodist traditions.

By analyzing the challenges and opportunities facing the denomination during a period of significant cultural shift, the text offers profound insights into the adaptability and enduring relevance of Wesleyan theology. Readers will find scholarly reflections on church unity, educational outreach, and the spiritual vitality required to meet the demands of a modernizing society. This volume serves as an essential resource for those interested in the history of Methodism, the development of ecumenical thought, and the intersection of religion and public life in the interwar years. It captures a pivotal moment of self-reflection for one of the world's most influential Christian traditions.
