Shouting and Singing their Way to Heaven: How Hugh Bourne, William Clowes and the Primitive Methodists Changed their World - Paperback

by Dave Price (Author)

The Primitive Methodist movement was founded by Hugh Bourne (1772-1852) and William Clowes (1780-1851). The movement touched the lives of many thousands of working class men, women and children in the rapidly changing times of the Industrial Revolution. The Primitive Methodists were so-called because they wished to revert to the "early" or "primitive" Methodism of John Wesley. This book helps us learn from this significant movement that radically transformed individuals, families and communities.
