title: Methodist Evangelism, American Salvation: The Home Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church, 1860-1920
author:  Mark R. Teasdale 
description: Teasdale employs careful historical analysis while framing the issues of the time with a pastorally informed eye, balancing difficult yet poignant material. This text is a welcome and significant contribution. --Laceye Warner, Executive Vice Dean, Duke University Divinity School, North Carolina<br /><br />Teasdale provides a sharply focused and well-nuanced analysis of the evangelistic mission of Methodism in one of its most critical ages of growth. At a time when the interface of Christianity and culture figures so prominently on the contemporary landscape, this study of developments in the nineteenth century provides important lessons from which we can learn. Many will find this book helpful in the quest to more fully understand American religious culture. --Paul W. Chilcote, Academic Dean, Professor of Historical Theology and Wesleyan Studies, Ashland Theological Seminary, Ohio

  IT now remains to give a brief survey of the permanent institutions which have
  grown up out of this educational
  
  
  enthusiasm which has united all Christian churches since the war.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  The American Missionary Society, formed in 1846, as an anti-slavery missionary
  body, stood ready equipped to
  
  
  go into the field and aid and supplement the course of Northern benevolence.
  All denominations availed themselves
  
  
  of its patronage, which was entirely unsectarian. As the work broadened and
  increased, however, each
  
  
  denomination had its separate society, carried on in its own special way.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  The American Missionary Society has planted one college or university for the
  colored people in each of the
  
  
  Southern States.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  These are Hampton Institute, Virginia; Berea College, Kentucky; Fiske
