Rezensionen

"To find myself reviewing a book about book reviews is ironic to say the least. Thankfully, this review - unlike many of those explored in this book - is an overwhelmingly positive one, devoid of the 'hostile attitudes' encountered by early Methodist authors [...]. By showing that anti-Methodist literature reached a much broader audience than previously thought, this book makes an invaluable contribution to the study of eighteenth-century Methodism. Crucially, by showing that reviewers often voiced their own opinions relating to matters of doctrine, McInelly has enhanced our understanding of the important - but largely neglected - role played by the laity in eighteenth-century theological controversies." - Simon Lewis in Proceedings of the Wesley Historical Society
