Title: The Father of Methodism. The Life of the Rev. John Wesley M.A.
Summary: The book traces Wesley’s early life, education at Oxford, and his intense spiritual discipline as a member of the “Holy Club,” which earned him the nickname “Methodist.” Despite his devotion, Wesley struggled with assurance of salvation until his transformative Aldersgate experience (1738), when he felt his “heart strangely warmed,” marking a turning point in his faith.
The biography highlights Wesley’s tireless ministry as an itinerant preacher, traveling thousands of miles across England, Scotland, Ireland, and America. He preached in fields, streets, and meeting houses, reaching the poor and marginalized whom the established church often neglected. The book emphasizes his commitment to personal holiness, disciplined Christian living, and social reform, including opposition to slavery and concern for education and healthcare.
It also explores Wesley’s organizational genius his system of societies, classes, and lay preachers which allowed Methodism to spread rapidly while remaining spiritually accountable.
