Overview

Richard Watson’s Life of the Rev. John Wesley has been a standard book in Methodism ever since it was first published in 1831. Consulting many of the unpublished papers and works of Wesley’s time, Watson corrects numerous misrepresentations produced by earlier biographies and draws the history of Wesley’s theological thought over the course of his life. Perhaps the most-read biography of Wesley in the nineteenth century, The Life of the Rev. John Wesley paved a strong foundation for Wesleyan identity among the laypeople.
