Rezensionen

"O'Brien gifts us with a comprehensive overview of Wesley's political and social writings, focusing on the connection of liberty and loyalty. This is a very welcome addition to Wesley studies, for scholars and general readers alike." -Randy L. Maddox, Duke Divinity School

"This thematic study skilfully fills a significant lacuna in scholarship on Wesley. The multidisciplinary approach of the book situates it in the context of eighteenth-century political thought, transatlantic history, and global history, offering new insights to scholars in these fields of study." - Geordan Hammond, Manchester Wesley Research Centre

"This book offers a new, insightful study of the political thought of John Wesley. Grounded in contemporary scholarship, this is a very important scholarly work with deep relevance to contemporary political issues." - Ted A. Campbell, Southern Methodist University
