Thanks to [Lewis'] excellent monograph, and to the contributions of earlier scholars, we have a sound understanding of the pattern and extent of anti-Methodism during the lifetimes of Wesley and Whitefield.

Clive D. Field, University of Birmingham, Proceedings of the Wesley Historical Society

This is a work of exceptionally fine scholarship, rooted in extensive research in the literature and theology of the eighteenth century. Lewis's work is meticulous and he has left no stone unturned in his examination of the attacks on Methodism. As a result, this is a superb book that advances a groundbreaking and original view of the eighteenth century, and one which will need to be read by all scholars of religion in the future.

Lewis...improves our understanding of the historical context of Anti-Methodism and Theological Controversy in Eighteenth-Century England.

Samuel J. Richards, Anglican and Episcopal History

Lewis presents his findings in a compact way. The chapters are quite dense in construction, but the shortness of the subsections and the provision of sub-headings enhance the smooth progression of the argument and enable the reader to appreciate the coherence with which the chapters are integrated into the structure of the book as a whole.

G. M. Ditchfield, Wesley and Methodist Studies

John Wesley and George Whitefield are remembered as founders of Methodism, one of the most influential movements in the history of modern Christianity. Characterized by open-air and itinerant preaching, eighteenth-century Methodism was a divisive phenomenon, which attracted a torrent of printed opposition, especially from Anglican clergymen. Yet, most of these opponents have been virtually forgotten. Anti-Methodism and Theological Controversy in Eighteenth-Century England is the first large-scale examination of the theological ideas of early anti-Methodist authors. By illuminating a very different perspective on Methodism, Simon Lewis provides a fundamental reappraisal of the eighteenth-century Church of England and its doctrinal priorities. For anti-Methodist authors, attacking Wesley and Whitefield was part of a wider defence of 'true religion', which demonstrates the theological vitality of the much-derided Georgian Church. This book, therefore, places Methodism firmly in its contemporary theological context, as part of the Church of England's continuing struggle to define itself theologically.
