Field, University of Birmingham, Proceedings of the Wesley Historical Society * This is a work of exceptionally fine scholarship, rooted in extensive research in the literature and theology of the eighteenth century. Lewis's work is meticulous and he has left no stone unturned in his examination of the attacks on Methodism. As a result, this is a superb book that advances a groundbreaking and original view of the eighteenth century, and one which will need to be read by all scholars of religion in the future. * William Gibson, OXFORD BROOKES UNIVERSITY, Journal of Ecclesiastical History * Thanks to [ Lewis'] excellent monograph, and to the contributions of earlier scholars, we have a sound understanding of the pattern and extent of anti-Methodism during the lifetimes of Wesley and Whitefield. * Clive D.
