Whitefield life and the Established Church judged
The review questions the bannered claims of the State Church as a force for religious instruction and moral influence, urging careful study of past facts. It notes Whitefield and Wesley operated under near sole church power in rural England, and suggests Tyerman and Gledstone present a gloomier record of Wesley’s biography.
