Methodist Itinerants: Creators Of Climate (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162851709)

Methodist Itinerants: Creators of Climate is a book written by Joseph M. M. Gray. The book explores the role of Methodist itinerant preachers in shaping the social, cultural, and religious climate of the United States during the 19th century. The author argues that these preachers, who traveled from town to town spreading the gospel, were instrumental in creating a sense of community among the rural and urban populations they encountered. They were also important in promoting social change, including the abolition of slavery and the temperance movement. Gray provides a detailed analysis of the lives and work of these itinerant preachers, drawing on historical documents and personal accounts to paint a vivid picture of their impact on American society. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in the history of religion in the United States.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Prophets of the Soul, by Joseph M.
