B. T. Roberts (1823-1893) and his wife Ellen Stowe Roberts (1825-1908) were key figures in the founding of the Free Methodist Church in 1860. After successfully serving Methodist pastorates for nearly a decade, B. T. Roberts was expelled from the Methodist Episcopal Church because of his reformist writings and preaching.This book, which is an abridged version of Snyder's original 2006 biography, tells the full story of B. T. and Ellen Roberts, including their marriage and family life as well as public activities as church leaders.
