Description
About this book
"The life and times of the Rev. John Wesley, M.A., founder of the Methodists.…." by Rev. L. Tyerman is a historical biography written in the late 19th century. It chronicles John Wesley’s later years and the expansion of Methodism through his travels, letters, sermons, and conferences, highlighting disputes over Calvinism, Christian perfection, and adherence to the Church of England. Drawing on journals and correspondence, it shows how Wesley organized and financed the movement while extending its reach in Britain and abroad. The opening of the volume concentrates on 1768, tracing Wesley at 65 through conciliatory exchanges with Whitefield and Berridge, counsel to Lady Huntingdon, the sermon “The Good Steward,” and an energetic tour from Chatham to the North and into Scotland preaching to soldiers and vast crowds.
