This book highlights the life and writings of an itinerant preacher in John Wesleys Methodist Connexion, Thomas Wride (17331807). Detailed studies of such rank and file preachers are rare, as Methodist history has largely been written by and about its leadership. However, Wrides ministry shows us that the development of this worldwide movement was more complicated and uncertain than many accounts suggest.Wrides attitude was distinctive. He was no respecter of persons, freely criticising almost everyone he came across, and in doing so exposing debates and tensions within both Methodism and wider society. However, being so combative also led him into conflict with the very movement he sought to promote. Wride is an authentic, selfeducated, and nonlite voice that illuminates important features of EighteenthCentury life well beyond his religious activities. He sheds light on his contemporaries attitudes to issues such as the role of women, attitudes towards and the practice of medicine, and the experience and interpretation of dreams and supernatural occurrences.This is a detailed insight into the everyday reality of being an EighteenthCentury Methodist minister. As such, this text will be of interest to academics working in Methodist Studies and Religious History, as well as EighteenthCentury History more generally.
