Description
A leading figure in the Evangelical Revival in eighteenth-century England, John Wesley (1703-91) is the founding father of Methodism and, by extension, of the Holiness and Pentecostal movements.

Written from various disciplinary perspectives, including history, literature, theology, and religious studies, this volume will be an invaluable aid to scholars and students, including those encountering the work and thought of Wesley for the first time.
