About This Book

The work assembles biographical sketches and brief notices of participants in an Oxford religious revival, tracing their devotional disciplines, doctrinal positions, and varied ministries. It contrasts emphases—High‑Church ritualism, evangelical preaching, Moravian reform, educational and missionary initiatives—and documents practices such as daily prayer, fasting, sacramental observance, and charitable care. Extended portraits of several principal figures are supplemented by shorter fragments where material is scarce, and the collection emphasizes the movement's diverse impacts on worship, pastoral formation, and social outreach.

L. Tyerman was a 19th-century author known for his extensive biographical works on prominent figures in the Methodist movement. His notable contributions include "The Life of the Rev. George Whitefield," which provides a detailed account of the influential preacher's life and ministry. Tyerman also authored a comprehensive three-volume series on John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, exploring Wesley's life, times, and theological impact. Additionally, he wrote about Samuel Wesley, John Wesley's father, and John William Fletcher, a key figure in the early Methodist church. Tyerman's works are significant for their historical insights into the development of Methodism and its leaders.
