Populist Saints B. T. and Ellen Roberts and the First Free Methodists
Snyder, Howard A.
Populist Saints B. T. and Ellen Roberts and the First Free Methodists Howard A. Snyder - U.S.A. Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. 2006 - 975tr. hardcover 24 cm
Popular Saints tells the story of Benjamin Titus Roberts (1823–1893) and Ellen Roberts (1825–1908), recounting their critique of powerful elites and illuminating the “crisis of Methodism” that gave rise to the Free Methodist Church. Howard Snyder's detailed biography views key nineteenth-century currents and events — such as abolitionism, revivalism, women's rights, the Civil War, and the expansion of railroads — through the lives of these two extraordinary figures, who taught a “holy populism” of simplicity, justice for the common people, and radical discipleship.
