Charles Wesley : A Reader
Saved in:
| Title: | Charles Wesley : A Reader |
|---|---|
| Description: | Charles Wesley, perhaps best known for his hymns,'Hark! the Herald Angels Sing'and'Jesus Lover of My Soul,'was the younger brother of John Wesley and the co-founder and poet-laureate of Methodism. Although he was an important figure in the history of Protestantism, Wesley's personal life was shrouded by a cloak of silence and much of his work went unpublished. In this illuminating reader, John Tyson has collected hymns, sermons, letters, and journal material--many rare and hitherto unknown--to chronicle the life and works of Wesley in his own words. Tyson provides an extensive biographical-theological introduction, and supplements Wesley's collected works with interpretative and introductory notes, creating a definitive account of Wesley's character and contribution to the Methodist heritage. |
