Description
This volume offers new insights into the life and work of Charles Wesley (1707-88), one of the founders of Methodism. Celebrated as a hymnwriter, three of the volumes essays discuss Wesleys exploration of verse to encourage both individuals and the church to collectively seek `renewal, analysing his use of symbolic language and the psychological responses that this engenders, and the complex history of the changing music to which his hymns are sung. With further focus on Wesleys role as an evangelist and leader in the early years of the Evangelical Revival in Bristol, his role as a pastor is also discussed through his relationship with an eccentric contemporary, John Henderson (1757-88), who dabbled in the occult. The volume concludes with a detailed account of known portraits of Wesley, portraits that illustrated his status as one of historys most consequential Methodists.
