Good for Beginners
This text is a good book for the novice United Methodist or new students to religious studies.The book is comprised of thought from four leading writers.

Gonzalez's opening chapter on Bible studying in the Early Church is well prepared and clearly instructive.Witherington offers, his usual, astute and well-researched analysis of the Wesley's and Asbury's (one wonders if his Watson analysis is necessary) use and study of Scripture.

Tilson's chapter 3 keeps this book from gaining the 5th star.His "contemporary approach" is too cerebral.Even as a fellow U Methodist theological thinker, who has a love for theological argument, I found myself wondering away from his run-on sentences and slow train-of-thought.

Felton's concluding chapter brings the reader back on task.She provides a realistic look at contemporary Methodism and its application of Scripture.She also reminds one of Methodism's rich heritage of biblical study and interpretation.

All-in-all I'm grateful for my daughter's gifting me this book.It is a welcomed addition to my Wesleyan library and very recommendable. ... Read more

Ecnonomical Hymnal Option
Our small church found this an economical way to purchase extra hymnals.We appreciate the opportunity to make donated money go further.
Overall I like the format of the hymnal, especially the psalms for responsive reading.I also like the inclusion of many of the gospel hymns that were left out of the previous edition.
My only quarrel with this edition is that there is no acknowledgment that the words of many of the hymns have been altered to make them more inclusive.I do not have a problem with the fact that it was done, but it seems bad scholarship not to mention somewhere what was done and why. ... Read more

AME Church Hymnal from a historic prospective
Growing up in the AME church and listening to music written by African American writers and others was inspiring. To have those songs captured in one book with the music is a plus for me a pianist.

This hymal is used by all musicians in All AME Churches and that in itself is a five star rating. ... Read more

Product Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.

Incredible Ministry
This is a superb work that needs wide distribution. It highlights Julian Rush's incredible ministry of creativity, love, and social justice.Too often the witness, contributions, and struggles of gay and lesbian persons in the church are deliberately overlooked in church history.
