Heart Of John Wesley's Journal- The
Hendrickson Classic Biographies presents a one-volume abridgement of Wesley's multi-volume journals. "The Heart of John Wesley's Journal" presents a remarkable life- recorded and examined in real time by Wesley himself.
Spanning some fifty-five years- John Wesley's journals recorded his daily experiences in studying- teaching- preaching- and traveling the throughout England and then America in the eighteenth century. These selections present an engrossing portrait of Wesley during the course of his travels and evangelistic activities- illuminating the preacher's views and opinions on a host of contemporary matters. Begun as a public vindication of his early spiritual and pastoral work in Oxford and America- Wesley's journal became a means of keeping far-flung outposts of Methodism in touch with one another- a device for administering encouragement and rebukes- and a textbook of the experiential religion Wesley spent his life proclaiming. Wesley's eclectic interests and passion for rational analysis also make his journal a rich source for any reader interested in observing the conditions and values of society--particularly those of the lower classes--through the eyes of a well-educated and intelligent gentleman of the time.
