John Wesley (1703–1791) is recognized as the founder of Methodism. An acclaimed preacher, Wesley traveled extensively on horseback and drew large crowds for his outdoor sermons. A contemporary of William Wilberforce, Wesley strongly opposed slavery in England and the United States. His influence upon modern Christianity is demonstrated by the persistence of Methodists all over the world. He wrote many books and sermons, including his famous Explanatory Notes upon the Old and New Testaments.
