I knew that Methodist was a nickname and I knew it was to do with their methodical approach to godliness. What I'd not picked up is that the nickname Methodist refers back to a group of Roman physicians who were called Methodists because of their approach to health. This is mentioned on page 55 of the newly translated Calvinistic Methodist Fathers which I am very much enjoying. Apparently this explanation is found in (John) Wesley himself.
