Product Description
Originally published 1855

When the preparation of the biography comprised in the following pages was committed to the author, it was his purpose to make it strictly personal, and to comprise it, if possible, in a duodecimo volume of some four hundred pages. But when he entered upon the work, he found the history of Bishop Hedding so intertwined and blended with the early history of the Church in New England, and, at a later day, with the history of the whole Church, that the full development of his character and services could not well be made without keeping in view the concurrent aspects of the great Methodistic reformation in this country. The carrying out of this idea involved a vast amount of extra labor. It has also enlarged, but, he trusts, likewise enriched volumes of "The Minutes of the Conferences," the bound volumes of "The Methodist Magazine," "Asbury's Journals," "Lee's Methodism," Stevens' "Memorials of Methodism," Bangs' "History of the Methodist Episcopal Church," and various other works. The material gathered from these various sources the author has endeavored to blend into a new and homogeneous production; not a mere bald, historical detail -- but history illustrated by incident, and illustrating philosophy.
On some portions of the work the author has bestowed more critical and extended attention, because of the important principles involved; and especially because Bishop Hedding desired that his memory should be vindicated by a full and truthful report of his administration.
The place of publication being distant from the author, he was compelled to read the proof sheets without being able to verify the statistics by comparison with the copy. Still he trusts that no important error has escaped correction.
With the humble desire that it may, in some degree, worthily perpetuate the memory of a great and good man to coming ages, and thus prove a blessing to the Church of Christ and to the world, the volume is now sent forth.

When men have caused such lamentable divisions in the Church, by their several parties and factions, it concerns them to condemn all others besides themselves, lest they most of all condemn themselves for making unnecessary divisions in the Church of God. -- Stillingfleet

Product Description
In Transformative Pastoral Leadership in the Black Church, Jeffery L. Tribble argues that the study of pastoral leadership is critical to a full understanding of the history of African Americans. According to Tribble, the black church has a uniquely dominant role in the United States and its leaders deserve our scholarly attention. In this book Tribble asserts that spiritual leaders who practice transformational hermeneutics in the context of their congregations and communities are essential to the black church if it is to effectively fulfill its goals in the world.
