In ’Genuine Methodism Acquitted, And Spurious Methodism Condemned, ’ Edward Wesley Hare and Joseph Cooke offer a detailed examination and defense of authentic Methodism. This work distinguishes between true Wesleyan principles and what the authors consider to be deviations or misinterpretations of those principles. The book likely explores key theological and ethical tenets of Methodism, such as salvation, sanctification, and social holiness, while contrasting them with practices or beliefs deemed ’spurious.’
This treatise provides valuable insights into the historical and theological debates within Methodism and the broader Christian landscape. It serves as a primary source for understanding the nuances of Wesleyan theology and the challenges faced by early Methodist communities in maintaining doctrinal purity and ethical integrity. Students of church history, Methodist theology, and 18th-century religious movements will find this work an essential resource.
