The political writings of John Wesley (1703-1791) reveal a
passionate campaigner engaged throughout his life with the care of
the oppressed. His life was one of great paradox: as a
high-churchman and Tory, living under the instruction of the Bible,
tradition set him against radical change, yet few individuals could
have been more responsible for upheaval in church and society. He
believed scriptures set him against the cause of democracy, yet
scarcely one other single person could have contributed more to its
realization. His gospel religion inflamed in him an outrage at the
social and political evils of his day that was barely matched by
the more explicitly radical of his contemporaries. This volume
collects addresses and pamphlets that capture Wesley's views on a
variety of political subjects including the nature of political
power, his response to Richard Price's Observations on Liberty, his
views on slavery, on poverty, on the secession of the American
colonies, and on the luxury of the rich. Together they make clear
the relevance of Wesley to subsequent developments in the abolition
of slavery and the evolution of labour politics. The book features
an extensive new introduction by the editor.
