About the Author
Douglas D. Tzan is the director of the Doctor of Ministry and course of study programs and assistant professor of church history and mission at Wesley Theological Seminary. He is also an ordained elder in the Baltimore-Washington Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church and the senior pastor at the Sykesville Parish (St. Paul’s and Gaither United Methodist Churches).
Methodism’s rise to globalism in the nineteenth century is a
progenitor of Pentecostalism’s worldwide expansion in the twentieth
century, and no single figure is more central to the former than
the rugged, revivalist missionary, William Taylor. Part
independent actor and part Methodist connectional super-hero,
Taylor relentlessly traveled the methodist, imperial, and
transportation networks of the world in search of converts. Tzan
tells Taylor’s controversial story of transcontinental mission and
revivalism with unprecedented thoroughness and clarity, and
successfully locates his extraordinary life in a bewildering range
of national and international contexts.
