The growing body of scholarly writing on religion in the region, however, has concentrated on other denominations. While recent works have analysed the lives of important Methodist figures in central Canada and identified Methodism as one of the most powerful forces in the formation of Ontario culture, the literature on Methodism in Atlantic Canada is still dominated by previously published works founded on assumptions that must be reassessed." "This collection of essays by scholars in several disciplines breaks new ground and rejects some long-accepted stereotypes to provide a better understanding of the culture of Atlantic Canada."--Jacket Analysis Methodist churches Doctrines History Canada Notes Papers presented at a conference held at Mount Allison University, October 6-8, 1989 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Methodist Church -- Maritime Provinces -- History -- Congresses Methodist Church -- Newfoundland and Labrador -- History -- Congresses Methodist Church -- Maritime Provinces -- Influence -- History -- Congresses Methodist Church -- Newfoundland and Labrador -- Influence -- History -- Congresses RELIGION -- Christianity -- Methodist.
