Evangelical Mind Nathanael Burwash and the Methodist Tradition in Canada, 1839-1918

By discussing the nature and practices of late nineteenth-century Methodism, Van Die focuses attention on the theological assumptions which allowed serious young Methodists to accept the critical thought of the period while retaining the basic tenets of their evangelical religion. She emphasizes that the position taken by Burwash and his students allowed religion to remain a vital component of early twentieth-century Canadian society during a time historians have generally viewed as an era of religious decline.Van Die, Marguerite is the author of 'Evangelical Mind Nathanael Burwash and the Methodist Tradition in Canada, 1839-1918' with ISBN 9780773506954 and ISBN 0773506950.
