Description
Identifying Methodism as America's significant large-scale popular religious movement of the antebellum period, this work shows how Methodism fed into popular religious enthusiasm and the social and economic ambitions of the middling people on the make - skilled artisans, shopkeepers, small planters, petty merchants - who constituted its core.
