O knihe
Early American Methodists commonly described their religious lives asgreat wars with sin and claimed they wrestled with God and Satan who assaulted themin terrible ways. Carefully examining a range of sources, including sermons, letters, autobiographies, journals, and hymns, Jeffrey Williams explores thisviolent aspect of American religious life and thought. Williams exposes Methodism'sinsistence that warfare was an inevitable part of Christian life and necessary forany person who sought God's redemption. He reveals a complex relationship betweenreligion and violence, showing how violent expression helped to provide context andmeaning to Methodist thought and practice, even as Methodist religious life wasshaped by both peaceful and violent social action.
