Wesley, John

English preacher and theologian (1703-1791).  Wesley was the founder of Methodism, one of the products of the evangelical religious revival centred around the work of himself and his brother Charles in eighteenth-century England.  He published many works, including histories, biographies, and collections of sermons.  He also adapted others’ works, including Edwards’ Treatise Concerning Religious Affections, in abridged and edited forms for the use of his Methodist brethren.
