This comprehensive history of Methodism in Louisiana begins with the earliest traceable contacts between circuit riders and Louisiana residents and carries the story to 1986. It summarizes and synthesizes but also is amazingly specific about origins and developments of churches; theological developments and controversies; contributions of people; and the work and evolution of youth groups and other important church organizations, special ministries, and colleges and other institutions. After showing the division of Methodism into various Methodist denominations before and after the Civil War, the book manages the difficult task of following parallel developments in each, their interaction, and the long journey through several phases of unification. The largest of these Methodist denominations, the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, is given a major place in the book, but so are the Methodist Episcopal, Methodist Protestant, and the Evangelical United Brethren churches. The book establishes the great contribution made to Methodist work in Louisiana by clergymen and clergywomen and by laymen and laywomen of different racial and ethnic backgrounds. Surveying the accomplishments of women's groups and black leaders is a special feature of this history. 375 pages.
