Journeymen for Jesus by William R Sutton
Explores how the artisan community of Baltimore responded to the industrialization of America during the 1820s and 1830s. The book examines how evangelical Methodism inspired their refusal to accept second-class citizenship.
“A welcome addition to a new wave of scholarship on religion and antebellum social history that argues for the relevance of evangelical Protestantism in popular movements. . . Sutton has done a remarkable job of combing records to discover a strand of thought and a group of men historians otherwise would know little about. His findings speak to a broad scholarly audience, and his work makes a significant contribution to several fields of historical study.”
