""An Essay On The Character Of Methodism"" is a book written by John Mainwaring in 1781. The book provides an analysis and critique of the Methodist movement, which had emerged as a significant force in England during the 18th century. Mainwaring explores the origins of Methodism, its beliefs and practices, and its impact on society. He argues that Methodism is a divisive and dangerous movement that threatens to undermine the established order and create social unrest. Mainwaring also critiques the theology of Methodism, arguing that it is based on a flawed understanding of salvation and the nature of God. The book is a significant contribution to the debate about the role of religion in society and the challenges posed by new religious movements. It remains an important historical document for scholars interested in the history of Methodism and the broader religious landscape of 18th-century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
