Charles Wesley was a prominent figure in the history of Protestantism, known for his hymns and as the co-founder of Methodism. Despite his importance, much of his personal life and work remained unpublished. In "Charles Wesley: A Reader," editor John Tyson has compiled a collection of Wesley's writings, including hymns, sermons, letters, and journal entries, to provide insight into his life and contributions. The book also includes a biographical-theological introduction and explanatory notes, making it a comprehensive account of Wesley's character and impact on the Methodist tradition.
Charles Wesley, perhaps best known for his hymns, "Hark! the Herald Angels Sing" and "Jesus Lover of My Soul," was the younger brother of John Wesley and the co-founder and poet-laureate of Methodism. Although he was an important figure in the history of Protestantism, Wesley's personal life was shrouded by a cloak of silence and much of his work went unpublished. In this illuminating reader, John Tyson has collected hymns, sermons, letters, and journal material--many rare and hitherto unknown--to chronicle the life and works of Wesley in his own words. Tyson provides an extensive biographical-theological introduction, and supplements Wesley's collected works with interpretative and introductory notes, creating a definitive account of Wesley's character and contribution to the Methodist heritage.
