Episode 1 is a journey through the first 25 years of Salvation Army history, using the perspective of one country, Australia, as a window on the early spirit and power of the movement.

Episode 2 takes us back to the theological origins of The Salvation Army in the teachings of John Wesley. It follows the course of Wesleyan activism through the Great Awakening, and traces the influence of Charles Finney, Phoebe Palmer and others on Catherine and William Booth in the foundation of The Salvation Army.

Episode 3 traces the development of the rich internal culture that sustained The Salvation Army through the twentieth century. The program explores our understanding of Christ and his mission as a guide to our future as a vibrant worshipping community.

Episode 4 looks at the remarkable parallels between the world of William Booth, and the world of today. The program traces some of the Army’s early social campaigns. It examines the innovative structures introduced by The Salvation Army to meet the challenges of the 19th century and assesses their worth for the 21st century.
