On to Perfection: Nels O. Westergreen and the Swedish Methodist Church - Hardcover
by Carol M. Norén (Author)
What is distinctive about ministry in an immigrant community, and how has it changed or remained the same over the last 150 years? What happens to the individual and communal religious identity of immigrants in the process of assimilation into the dominant denominational and social culture? On to Perfection explores a neglected doctrine and a largely forgotten chapter in Methodist history through the eyes of Nels O. Westergreen, a nineteenth-century Swedish immigrant preacher in the United States.
Carol M. Norén is professor emerita of homiletics at North Park Theological Seminary in Chicago, and a retired minister in the Northern Illinois Conference of the United Methodist Church. She is the author of In Times of Crisis and Sorrow (2001).
