Produktbeschreibung

Step into the world of 18th century England and the life of one of history's most influential Christian revivalists with "The Journal of John Wesley." This first-hand account immerses you in the tireless ministry and profound spiritual devotion of Wesley, founder of the Methodist movement.

Traveling by horseback, Wesley records his almost supernatural stamina in ministering to the poor, imprisoned, and overlooked souls of England. His vivid observations capture the religious tenor of the times, along with illuminating glimpses into 18th century culture and people. Despite riots and threats of violence, Wesley perseveres with courage and conviction.

The journal provides a riveting look at early Methodism, Wesley's emerging theology, and his conflicts with the establishment Church of England. His evolving views on faith, salvation, and sanctification reveal a man of deep spirituality trying to spark religious renewal.

This Primary document lets you dive into the mind of a figure who shook the foundations of Western Christianity. Wesley's account brims with fascinating details on his society and efforts. This volume is essential reading for anyone interested in Christian history, revivalism, or spiritual memoirs. Walk in Wesley's shoes and experience the birth of the Methodist awakening.
