which is that a Christian can attain a level of sinlessness here on earth before death. “Methodism” is that religion which works towards that goal by “methods”, thus Methodism. Whether you hold to this belief or not, many of the authors in Methodism showed a fervent for holiness (thus the “Holiness Movement”) and for intense prayer and missionary efforts that was a distinct statement against the cold, unmoving, unemotional practices and environment of Calvinism. These two movements are basically opposed one to the other.
I am including works from both, even though I am neither Methodist nor Calvinist, because (1) Methodists have very good arguments for motivating Christians to strive for holiness in their Christian lives and do intense work for the Lord. Many of the early missionary movements out of Methodism reached the world for Christ. (2) Although I differ with the basic tenets of Calvinism, Calvinism are intellectuals (a bad thing generally) but they are very serious students of Scripture. Many of the Calvinist authors have very sound biblical expositions and works on different Bible doctrines.
No matter which author you choose, of all those in the world, you have to compare everything they say with Scripture. Take the good and leave the bad. If most of it is bad, don’t bother with studying them at all.
