Download or read book The Works of John Wesley Volume 1 written by Wesley, John and published by Delmarva Publications, Inc.. This book was released on 2015-09-03 with total page 1124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The works of John Wesley have been treasured for many years, and we are pleased to offer this 141-sermon set in three volumes. These sermons constitute the essential points of his beliefs. Many were published by Wesley himself while others were recovered from his manuscripts after his death. While reading these, you will find that his writings are never dry but maintain a vigor of life about them while maintaining a scriptural balance. He strived to reach the everyday man and bring him a living gospel, and this intent is spread throughout his sermons. While Wesley had originally intended to publish a three-volume series, he went on to add a fourth. He desired to reach a larger audience with these printed works than he could with his daily sermons in person, and there was also a particular demand for them. The four books are comprised of approximately 44 sermons and are contained in volume I of this printing. In 1746, he had published the first book of this projected work, entitled Sermons on Several Occasions. He later went on to add another nine sermons to the series. The subsequent books were released in 1748, 1750, and 1760, respectively. It is important to note that these are by no means the whole of Wesley's written sermons; they were merely selected by him for the Christian reader as a kind of standard for his belief of many of the principal points of Christian doctrine, and have since become known as the standard sermons. In his preface to volume I, Wesley himself wrote, "I have accordingly set down in the following sermons what I find in the Bible concerning the way to heaven; with a view to distinguish this way of God from all those which are the inventions of men. I have endeavored to describe the true, the scriptural, experimental religion, so as to omit nothing which is a real part thereof, and to add nothing thereto which is not." (Sermons on Several Occasions, Volume I, Preface) For fifty years, Wesley had also written numerous sermons and published them in local magazines, many of which were printed in cities across England such as London, Bristol, Dublin, and Newcastle upon Tyne. With these sermons being placed in the hands of so many printers, it was inevitable that they would be printed in a combined publication, which was often the case. Because of this, in his advancing age, Wesley decided that he should undertake a reprinting of all of his works, enabling him to revise all of his works carefully and also to correct any errors that had arisen. In his collected works he elected to print his sermons, commentaries, notes, journals, and more, producing an impressive thirty-two duodecimo volumes, the first being published in 1771 and the last in 1774. In the set of sermons that comprised those of the "model deed" included nine additional lectures that were not previously published, bringing the total to 53. These 53 lectures have are in the first volume of this series.

Download or read book John Wesley s Standard Sermons written by John Wesley and published by Charltonian Press. This book was released on 2024-05-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The preaching and writing of John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, galvanized audiences during his lifetime and remain richly relevant today. The works known as Wesley's "standard" sermons-the 44 sermons he published between 1746 and 1760 plus the nine he added in a 1771 edition-laid out the heart of his preaching and defined the doctrine of the burgeoning Methodist movement. Though Wesley strove to offer what he called plain truth for plain people, his characteristically 18th-century prose can be challenging for modern readers. This meticulous new three-volume edition of the standard sermons gently paraphrases archaic phrasing, simplifies some confusing sentence structures, and makes sparing abridgements where duplicative wording or examples obscure rather than clarify meaning. Preserving Wesley's points, sequence, paragraph and sermon numbering, these judicious and respectful treatments help make the standard sermons accessible to contemporary readers without compromising Wesley's voice, meaning or intention. An ideal reference tool for pastors preparing sermons or classes in Wesleyan heritage and theology, they will also appeal to seminarians and other students, Methodists looking for a deeper understanding of Wesley's beliefs, Christians seeking forthright guidance on the path to personal salvation, and general readers interested in exploring the thought of one of history's most original, influential and inspiring religious minds.
Download or read book John Wesley s Teachings Volume 4 written by Thomas C. Oden and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Timeless Teachings of John Wesley for the Modern-Day Christian John Wesley’s Teachings is the first systematic exposition of John Wesley's theology that encompasses all of his writings. Wesley was a prolific writer and commentator on Scripture—his collected works fill twenty-four volumes—and yet it is commonly held that he was not systematic or consistent in his theology and teachings. On the contrary, Thomas C. Oden demonstrates that Wesley displayed a remarkable degree of internal consistency over sixty years of preaching and ministry. This series of four volumes is a text-by-text guide to John Wesley’s teaching. It introduces Wesley’s thought on the basic tenets of Christian teaching: God and providence (volume 1), Christ and salvation (volume 2), the practice of pastoral care (volume 3), and issues of ethics and society (volume 4). In everyday modern English, Oden clarifies Wesley’s explicit intent and communicates his meaning clearly to a contemporary audience. Both lay and professional readers will find this series useful for devotional reading, moral reflection, sermon preparation, and for referencing Wesley’s opinions on ecological recovery, moral relativism, enthusiasm, catholicity, experience, paradise, final justification, providence, and countless others.
