 ‘A Glorious Work in the World’: Welsh Methodism and the International Evangelical Revival, 1735—50   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
David Ceri Jones’s landmark study situates the Welsh Methodist revival within the context of the international evangelical community that thrived particularly between 1735 and 1750 and that spanned many parts of Europe and the American colonies.
This survey focuses on the relationship of the Welsh revival with its various sister awakenings in England, Scotland, Ireland, parts of France, Germany and the American colonies.
It does this by looking at the means by which Methodists in Wales communicated with their fellow evangelicals and traces both the ways in which the Welsh revivalists influenced the wider movement and the manner in which international evangelicalism fundamentally affected the development of Welsh Methodism.
