About Recovering Methodism
From the publisher's feed
At the turn of the 19th century, John Wesley and his band of Methodists at Oxford College set in motion a movement to spread scriptural holiness throughout England. This movement crossed the Atlantic and the inheritors of this tradition are now on every continent.
Over the last 200 years, we have lost much of that original vision and this podcasts seeks to recover the primitive religion of the Wesleys so that we too might be saved to the uttermost in the 21st century. Come recover Methodism with us.
