RT Book T1 The elect Methodists: Calvinistic Methodism in England and Wales, 1735-1811 A1 Jones, David Ceri A2 Schlenther, Boyd Stanley 1936- A2 White, Eryn Mant LA English PP Cardiff PB University of Wales Press YR 2012 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/81036560X AB The Elect Methodists is the first full analysis of Calvinistic Methodism, covering both England and Wales. Within the margins of a chronological canvas, it paints a thematic picture of a colourful movement that emerged as an alternative to the more familiar Methodist grouping led by John Wesley. Calvinistic Methodists were 'elect' because they were certain that God had chosen a peculiar people to save. No belief could have set them at a greater distance from the Wesleyan conviction that everyone stood on a level spiritual playing field before a God who harboured no favourites.
