Controversy Over Methodists and Clerical Doctrines in 1761
A 1761 London Daily Register piece reviews a pamphlet arguing over Methodists faith, regeneration, and enthusiasm, comparing Whitefield and Wesley to opponents who fear human learning. It notes critical letters, calls for sober debate among clergy, and warns against quackery and unbridled zeal, while praising disciplined study and scripture. The piece highlights debates on religious experience, intellect, and public morals with references to Whitefield, Wesley, and other church figures.
