Gregory Van Dussen continues his important work of allowing the circuit riders to speak to us today. While many of us would associate such servants of God with evangelistic preaching and revivalistic services, Van Dussen highlights the central place of the Lord's Supper in circuit rider spirituality. Beginning with early Methodism in Britain, he traces the lineage of this communion-centered spirituality across the Atlantic to the far-flung mission of the circuit riders in North America. As he shows, this great cloud of witnesses still has much to teach us! - James E. Pedlar, Bastian Chair of Wesley Studies, Tyndale Seminary.
