Spanning some fifty-five years and a quarter of a million miles' travel, the Journal records John Wesley's trials and successes in preaching in England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and America. His observations and opinions on many matters are a valuable reflection of eighteenth-century society, and from its pages, he emerges as the hero of an epic written and stage-managed by God himself. This edition includes a helpful introduction and explanatory notes. For general readers; students of eighteenth-century religious and social history; Methodists and Evangelicals.
