The growth of Methodism into a global movement after the Wesleys’ lifetimes resulted in a greater global awareness and participation in the Protestant missionary movement beginning with the establishment of the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society in 1818. Correspondingly, the supplements and changes introduced to John Wesley’s 1780 hymn book and the production of new hymn books by seceding Wesleyan groups show an increase in songs devoted to the theme of missions. These hymn books demonstrate a shift in theology from a focus on intercession and millennial expectations to exhortations to use human agency and other means to accomplish the evangelization of the world.

Murray and Olive Titus were American Methodist missionaries who served in India in the first half of the twentieth century. They were outstanding academically, and educational work was central to their missionary endeavours. However, the range of their work expanded greatly during their time in India, tumultuous decades that included world war and independence. This article examines their various areas of ministry, including Murray’s personal and scholarly engagement with Islam, and Olive’s concerns for social and economic development. They both learned to teach and preach in the vernacular, and their interest in and respect for India’s faiths and traditions were appreciated.

Methodism has always placed concern for the poor at the heart of its identity and purpose, yet its local presence and reach is declining. This article examines recent trends in the location of manses and churches against area variations in socio-economic deprivation in one conurbation. Manses are often found in less-deprived neighbourhoods than the churches for which ministers hold responsibility. As churches contract and close, manses are becoming distanced from the most deprived church catchments. These findings raise questions about stationing and ministers' contribution to a national strategy for evangelism and growth that is focused on engaging marginalized communities.

This article investigates the seeming dissonance between Phoebe Palmer's (1807–74) role as a charismatic leader who emphasized an unmediated, literalist approach to the Bible and her adoption of complex historical-critical arguments to defend female preaching. Drawing on Max Weber's concept of charisma, the article traces Palmer's performance as a pronounced biblicist before discussing her use of historical-contextual and linguistic arguments in response to male opposition to her ministry. The article presents Palmer as an innovative theologian and evangelist who negotiated male authority by strategically employing critical scholarship to establish ‘female prophesying’ as a necessary means to further the cause of holiness.

This article is an exercise in fides quaerens intellectum about revival in the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition. It examines accounts of revival by early British and American Methodists—John Wesley, Francis Asbury, and Luther Lee—and identifies the common elements of their descriptions. It then seeks to provide a theological understanding of these revivals by drawing upon distinctive ideas from Wesleyan historical and systematic theologians: divine omnipresence, free grace, divine holiness and love, and the means of grace. Finally, it offers a theological definition of revival from a Wesleyan-Holiness perspective and briefly explores implications for today.
