Charles Wesley: A Reader

Charles Wesley: A Reader

John R. Tyson
3.8/5 ( ratings)
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in the history of Protestantism, Wesley's personal life was shrouded by a cloak of silence and much of his work went unpublished.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.
