"Erika Stalcup’s incisive analysis of early Methodist spiritual experience rehabilitates affective language and the importance of feeling in the Wesleys’ movement. The consequent emphasis on holistic transformation gives this study a powerful contemporary resonance, as well as significant historical insight." 

Martin Wellings, World Methodist Historical Society, UK

"This book provides a fascinating window into the transformative and holistic spiritual experience of ordinary Methodists, offering new insights into early Methodist spirituality."
