John Wesley's most representative collection on Christian
Perfection. ' Now let this perfection appear in its native form,
and who can speak one word against it? Will any dare to speak
against loving the Lord our God with all our heart, and our
neighbor as ourselves? Against a renewal of heart, not only in
part, but in the whole image of God? Who is he that will open his
mouth against being cleansed from all pollution both of flesh and
spirit; or against having all the mind that was in Christ, and
walking in all things as Christ walked? What man, who calls himself
a Christian, has the hardiness to object to the devoting, not a
part, but all our soul, body, and substance to God?'
Here is Biblical narrative preaching that transforms. John W.
Wright presents a new model of preaching that aims to connect the
biblical text with a congregation so that they are formed into a
true Christian community. Such formation calls for interpretative
engagement with both the biblical narrative and the cultural
narrative that shapes our society. Wright critically surveys
current theories of preaching and the variety of hermeneutical
practices, providing clear guidance and practical direction for
faithful preaching.
John Wesley wrote this series of sermon commentaries to help people
understand Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. It took him over 15 years to
complete this important work. Over time changes within the English
language caused some of these writings to be very difficult for the
average person to read and were really only suited for the most
dedicated theologian. through careful and sensitive editing Claire
Weakley, Jr. has brought these sermons back to life for every
reader in the modern world to be able to enjoy and understand
Wesley's insights and teachings regarding the Sermon on the Mount.
A parallel New Testament commentary that includes the text of the
King James Version and applicable portions from the sermons from
Charles Spurgeon on each left-hand page, and excerpts from the
writings of John Wesley and Matthew Henry on each right-hand page.
Read the biblical text and glance across the page to get the
interpretations and meditations of these giants of the faith.

This is the Student Hard Cover 2017 third edition - Now with John
Wesley's Tracts on Prayer. "I BELIEVE there is no LITURGY in the
World, either in ancient or modern language, which breathes more of
a solid, scriptural, rational Piety, than the COMMON PRAYER of the
CHURCH of ENGLAND . . ." John Wesley. Despite those words, Wesley
realized that in its entirety the BCP needed to be modified to fit
the practices of the Methodist societies, especially for those
congregants living abroad in the new frontier.
In his history of the early Christian church, John Wesley Hanson
advances the view that Universalism - the belief that all humankind
will ascend to heaven - was the initial, accepted doctrine of
Christianity. A methodically argued and superbly written treatise
which cites various pieces of evidence written and artistic, this
book presents the various creeds of early Christianity in a manner
vivid and engaging. The author for instance demonstrates how
notions such as endless punishment were a later addition in deep
contrast with the earlier Gnostic era teachings. The first
centuries of the Christian church were filled with transition and
change. The earliest Bible and saint-written texts were in Greek;
it was only after the conversion of Emperor Constantine that
Christians - liberated from Rome's persecutions - began to write
their texts in Latin. This linguistic change alone was, according
to Hanlon, the root of great upheaval.

One of the great works of American exploration literature, this account of a scientific expedition forced to survive famine, attacks, mutiny, and some of the most dangerous rapids known to man remains as fresh and exciting today as it was in 1874. The Exploration of the Colorado River and Its Canyons, recently ranked number four on Adventure magazine’s list of top 100 classics, is legendary pioneer John Wesley Powell’s first-person account of his crew’s unprecedented odyssey along the Green and Colorado Rivers and through the Grand Canyon. A bold foray into the heart of the American West’s final frontier, the expedition was achieved without benefit of modern river-running equipment, supplies, or a firm sense of the region’s perilous topography and the attitudes of the native inhabitants towards whites.
JOHN WESLEY (1703-1791) is the chief architect and source of
inspiration for the modern doctrine of Christian perfection. From
the year 1725, when Wesley was "exceedingly affected" and resolved
to "dedicate all (his) life to God," holiness became the DNA of his
spiritual temperament. For the next sixty-six years Wesley taught
and proclaimed a gospel of holy love, gra-ciously given to sinful
humanity in Jesus Christ, for the recovery of the di-vine image
lost by the first Adam. Yet the vision of perfect love did not take
shape overnight. The path Wesley journeyed in developing his
theology of holiness was often arduous, at times turbulent, became
personally painful at specific junc-tures, and was long. It took
Wesley many years to work through the particu-lars of his
theological principles and finally integrate them into a holistic
theological system. For the first time all the significant writings
from Wesley's pen on the subject of holiness are brought together
in a reader format that tells the story how he developed his
theology of Christian perfection. All periods of Wesley's ministry
are included-early, middle, and late. Selections from the entire
Wesley corpus are included: sermons, journal, letters, commentary
notes, tracts, and other writings. Introductions offer historical
context and alert the reader to major themes and motifs. Study
guides are included for personal and group study. Whether one
agrees or disagrees with John Wesley on the subject of Christian
holiness, all will be challenged to reflect more deeply on the
nature of Christian discipleship and what it means to be a fully
devoted follower of Jesus Christ. Mark K. Olson is an ordained
minister in The Church of theNazarene and resides in Antioch,
California. He has spent many years researching John Wesley's life,
ministry and writings. His other publications are John Wesley's 'A
Plain Account of Christian Perfection': The Annotated Edition and
John Wesley's Theology of Christian Perfection: Developments in
Doc-trine & Theological System.

A Collection of Hymns for the Use of the People Called Methodist,
first published in 1780, was the definitive collection of hymns to
appear during the lifetime of John Wesley. As the culmination of a
lengthy process of preparing a 'general hymn-book, ' he selected
the 525 hymns presented here from more than fifty hymnbooks
published during the preceding forty-three years. It was very
distinctly Methodist in character. The arrangement of the hymns was
carefully designed to reflect the Wesleyan concept of the way of
salvation and the pattern of Christian experience.
