Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wesley and the Wesleyans challenges the cherished myth that at the moment when the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution were threatening the soul of eighteenth-century England, an evangelical revival - led by the Wesleys - saved it. It will interest anyone concerned with the history of Methodism and the Church of England, the Evangelical tradition, and eighteenth-century religious thought and experience. The book starts from the assumption that there was no large-scale religious revival during the eighteenth century. Instead, the role of what is called 'primary religion' - the normal human search for ways of drawing supernatural power into the private life of the individual - is analysed in terms of the emergence of the Wesleyan societies from the Church of England. The Wesleys' achievements are reassessed; there is fresh, unsentimental description of the role of women in the movement, and an unexpectedly sympathetic picture emerges of Hanoverian Anglicanism.

Book excerpt: A uniquely engaging, informative and inspirational account of John Wesley's life. "A man whose eloquence and logical acuteness might have made him eminent in literature, whose genius for government was not inferior to that of Richelieu, and who devoted all his powers in defiance to what he sincerely considered as the highest good of his species." -- Macaulay "The greatest force of the eighteenth century in England ... No single figure influenced so many minds, no single voice touched so many hearts." -- Augustine Birrell "No book is so exact and vivid a description of the eighteenth century in England as Wesley's Journal." -- Augustine Birrell This edition of The Journal of John Wesley is a uniquely engaging, informative and inspirational account of the life and thoughts of one of the most influential Christians--John Wesley, the founder of Methodism. It provides a unique glimpse into Wesley's spiritual journey and his contribution to Christianity in Britain and the United States. Wesley's Journal is a testament to the transforming power of faith on one man's life and on a society. The entries are raw, honest, and at times profoundly moving. Wesley confronted his own doubts and struggles but remained steadfast in his pursuit of a deeper knowledge of God. We see a man of immense energy expressing his faith by incessantly crisscrossing the British Isles, preaching several times a day, writing extensively, engaging with all social classes, and giving away over 90% of his income. In all this, he ensured he did not harm his health-preaching to 30,000 in the open air in his seventies and remaining vigorous into his eighties. Wesley's influence extended far beyond the realm of religion. He opposed slavery and cruelty to animals while promoting women's equality, the reduction of poverty and inequality, and healthy living - writing Primitiv Physik. a best-selling lay medical text. This classic is for anyone interested in eighteenth-century England or seeking inspiration and guidance on their own spiritual journey. This hardcover edition contains 371 subheadings in the table of contents so the reader can quickly find a particular section of interest.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of British Philosophy in the Eighteenth Century written by James A. Harris and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-10-03 with total page 687 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophy in eighteenth-century Britain was diverse, vibrant, and sophisticated. This was the age of Hume and Berkeley and Reid, of Hutcheson and Kames and Smith, of Ferguson and Burke and Wollstonecraft. Important and influential works were published in every area of philosophy, from the theory of vision to theories of political resistance, from the philosophy of language to accounts of ways of governing the passions. The philosophers of eighteenth-century Britain were enormously influential, in France, in Italy, in Germany, and in America. Their ideas and arguments remain a powerful presence in philosophy three centuries later. This Oxford Handbook is the first book ever to provide comprehensive coverage of the full range of philosophical writing in Britain in the eighteenth century. It provides accounts of the writings of all the major figures, but also puts those figures in the context provided by a host of writers less well known today. The book has five principal sections: 'Logic and Metaphysics', 'The Passions', 'Morals', 'Criticism', and 'Politics'. Each section comprises four chapters, providing detailed coverage of all of the important aspects of its subject matter. There is also an introductory section, with chapters on the general character of philosophizing in eighteenth-century Britain, and a concluding section on the important question of the relation at this time between philosophy and religion. The authors of the chapters are experts in their fields. They include philosophers, historians, political theorists, and literary critics, and they teach in colleges and universities in Britain, in Europe, and in North America.
