In a remarkable study of a region's reasons for changing how they practiced their faith, Shouting, Embracing, and Dancing with Ecstasy presents a unique perspective on the histories of Methodism and Newfoundland." "Contesting previous historical scholarship, Calvin Hollett argues that the growth in Methodism was not the result of clergy-dominated missionary work intended to rescue a degenerated populace. Instead, the author shows how Methodism flourished as a people's movement in which believers in coastal locations were free to experience individual and communal rapture, and giving rise to large lay revivals in more populous areas." "An insightful look at the growth of a religion, Shouting, Embracing, and Dancing with Ecstasy reasserts the importance of laypeople in religious matters, while detailing successful ways to bring the religious experience into daily life."--BOOK JACKET. 650 0 Methodist Church |zNewfoundland and Labrador |xHistory |y19th century. 650 0 Methodist Church |zNewfoundland and Labrador |xHistory |y18th century. 610 26 Église méthodiste |zTerre-Neuve-et-Labrador |xHistoire |y19e siècle. 610 26 Église méthodiste |zTerre-Neuve-et-Labrador |xHistoire |y18e siècle. 830 0 McGill-Queen's studies in the history of religion. |nSeries two ; |v53. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2001026798 901 35bcd12b-b57c-48f2-b66f-6b07ea08d8b8 |b25 |cfalse 852 00 |hBX8252.N4 H64 2010 |05525882 |bscsbcul 876 |055258828188056 |h |jAvailable |pCU16474619 |t1 |xOpen |zCU |lRECAP
