In this definitive biography Asbury emerges as an effective and influential leader. Drawing on a wide variety of sources, John Wigger reveals how Asbury crafted a church to engage ordinary Americans and their world. Under Asbury, Methodism exerted a powerful pull on American culture, but was itself transformed in the process, a pattern repeated again and again in American religious history.
