The Works of John Wesley, vol. 10
Overview
Founder of the Methodist movement, celebrated preacher, abolitionist, and gifted writer—John Wesley is known for all of these great qualities and more. Like his friend and contemporary George Whitefield, John Wesley didn’t need a church to preach in, he preached wherever a group of people would listen—a field, a cottage, a town hall—and he did it every day. Although he never officially left the Church of England, the Methodist movement that he planted quickly spread across England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and to colonial America. Today, over seventy-million people belong to Methodist organizations in the Wesleyan tradition all over the world.
Those familiar with Thomas Jackson’s edition of The Works of John Wesley are aware they include some of his journals, but these are incomplete and missing large chunks of important entries—sometimes entire years are missing!

The Logos edition also allows you to perform powerful searches and Scripture references link to the wealth of language resources in your digital library.

Top Highlights
“I only assert, that there is a measure of free-will supernaturally restored to every man, together with that supernatural light which ‘enlightens every man that cometh into the world.’” (Pages 229–230)
“Is any man saved who is not elected? Is it possible, that any not elected should be saved? If you say, ‘No,’ you put an end to the doubt. You espouse election and reprobation together. You confirm Mr. Calvin’s words, that ‘without reprobation, election itself cannot stand.’ You allow, (though you was not sensible of it before,) that ‘whom God elects not, them he reprobates.’” (Page 208)
“This, and this alone, is the old religion. This is true, primitive Christianity. O when shall it spread over all the earth! When shall it be found both in us and you? Without waiting for others, let each of us, by the grace of God, amend one.” (Page 85)
“Use whatever outward observances you please, but put your whole trust in him; but honour his holy name and his word, and serve him truly all the days of your life.” (Page 83)
“Taken in their plain, easy, and obvious sense, they abundantly prove, that there is not, cannot be, any such thing as unconditional reprobation.” (Pages 215–216)
