Book Description
Excerpt from John Fletcher Hurst: A Biography One bright morning, not far from New Year's Day, 1901. while Bishop Hurst and the writer were engaged on the usual batch of mail and miscellaneous chit-chat on the work of the day, a restful pause in a long stretch of dictation gave opportunity for a short stroll from his high desk around the sunlit study on the third floor of 1207 Connecticut Avenue. Picking up one of a lot of letters, put aside as those which could wait, he read it rapidly through. As he came to a passage similar to many others received, and referring to the story of his life as some time to be written, he turned half way around and, with a quizzical look out of the corners of his lustrous eyes and with a smile that softened the severity of the task imposed and relieved the somber suggestion of the possible close of his active career, but which sealed the commission for this biography, said, "I expect I must look to you for that." Reluctance to think the time near when it would be proper to engage in a service so unwelcome gradually gave place to the conviction that the preparatory gathering and sifting of materials should be begun. This was already in progress when in September, 1901, his sickness in London gave unmistakable evidence of the approaching end. When to the personal request of the Bishop was added, in the spring of 1902, that of his children of full age, the work was carried on with more vigor and in such time as could be found in the intervals of other necessary labors.

Book Description
John Fletcher was an influential figure in the history of Methodism. This study, based on a reading of the primary sources in Fletcher and John Wesley, looks at Fletcher's pneumatological and dispensational themes and examines Fletcher's relationship with Wesley and other significant figures of early Methodism in England and America. The author, professor of systematic theology at Asbury Theological Seminary, argues that Fletcher and Wesley agreed on the meaning of sanctification in light of the language of the Pentecost.
