This article explores Wesleyan Methodists' responses to the Zulu question (a sequence of events from the Anglo-Zulu War through to British annexation of Zululand) in the 1870s and 1880s particularly in relation to their humanitarianism. In doing so, it approaches the question in the imperial context, examining the attitudes of both the Wesleyan missionaries in South Africa and the Wesleyan public in Britain. The way the Wesleyans responded to the Zulu question was highly complex, largely contingent upon specific historical contexts. The local missionaries and Wesleyans at home were sharply divided over the assessment of the Zulu War; but, once the Boers started meddling in the Zulu civil war, they were united in expressing humanitarian concerns and calling for British protection over the Zulu. Sincere as their sympathy might have been, however, the Wesleyans' humanitarianism comprised a number of beliefs and considerations that were secular as well as religious. This article demonstrates that, despite its apparently universalist impulse and language, humanitarianism as it was espoused by the Wesleyans was always deployed contingently in relation to other imperatives, such as proselytism and commerce
