A new Wesley biography published at the tricentennial of his
birth.
The aim of this book is simple: it is an attempt to get to know
the real John Wesley. The author explains why getting to know the
real Wesley seems so difficult and describes the principles of such
a quest. The first part contains material written by Wesley
himself. The second part contains material written by Wesley's
contemporaries, who describe, defend, and/or attack him on a number
of points. The third part describes Wesley's fate at the hands of
biographers and other writers since his day, starting with the
eulogists and tracing the main currents of Wesley studies into the
twenty-first century.
This book describes Wesley as he saw himself and as he was seen
by both admirers and detractors. It gives a history of the
biographies written about Wesley and provides a distillation of the
primary documents written by and about Wesley. It includes an index
and a bibliography.
