Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Gospel in Great Britain: From St. Patrick to John Knox and John Wesley
History Of England; Hallam's Constitutional History of England Stevens' History Of Methodism and Kurtz's History Of the Christian Church.
The reader must not expect to find in this volume any attempt at thrilling description or beauty Of style. The author's aim has been, by brevity and simplicity Of style, to make the facts Of history speak for them selves, hoping to create interest in the subject by a simple narrative Of facts rather than by any fictitious colouring or imaginative ornamentation. Although these lectures have been prepared, one every week without intermission, amid all the duties Of a busy pastorate, yet the author is not without hope that the volume will be welcomed by many who have not had time to master the literature Of such an extensive subject. All who have made the attempt know well that it is a work Of years. It seemed to the author that a handy - book for busy men on this subject was much needed, and the celebration Of the Quincentenary of our first great Reformer during the present year makes the need urgent. If the following pages will contribute in any degree to a clearer understanding Of the history Of the Gospel in Great Britain by sound Protestants, the author will feel devoutly thankful to the Great Head of the Church for being guided and blessed in the undertaking.
