William Black: The Apostle of Methodism in the Maritime Provinces of Canada

This biography traces the life and labors of a Methodist pioneer in the Maritime provinces, situating his ministry within the era of evangelical revival and colonial settlement. Drawing on memoirs and journals, it follows his formation, itinerant preaching, and pioneering circuits across scattered communities, describes his theological ties to early Methodist leaders, and sketches personal traits—zeal, resilience, and practical leadership. Chapters recount formative influences, ministerial strategy, public reception, and final years, and assess the religious and social impact of his work on emerging Protestant communities.
