About the Book

This is an anthology of the writings of Charles Wesley. Best known for his hymns, such as `Hark! the Herald Angels Sing', and `Jesus, Lover of My Soul', Charles was the younger brother of John Wesley and the co-founder of Methodism. Despite his importance in the history of Protestantism, there is no collection of his writings in print, and indeed, little work has been done specifically on Charles in the last two generations. Tyson presents a chronologically arranged selection of the journals, sermons, letters, hymns, and poems in such a way as to both outline Wesley's life and illuminate the leading elements of his thought.

Review :
"A fascinating contribution to Wesley studies, making available material which is normally only accessible to users of the Methodist Archives and Research Centre. It may either be used as a source book, or simply read and enjoyed."--Proceedings of the Wesley Historical Society "[This book] can be recommended without hesitation to academic and seminary collections on Church music history and theology. American readers should be particularly interested in the documents concerning Wesley's Georgia sojourn in the 1730s." --Library Journal "Charles Wesley: A Reader is hghly recommended for students of the Wesleys and their theology, religion in eighteenth-century England, and hymnology."-- Southwestern Journal of Theology "Wesley's writings...are of great interest, particularly with regard to the history of Protestant theology."--Virginia Quarterly Review "This volume helps us better understand the place of Charles Wesley in the Christian tradition and his invaluable contribution to the Methodist movement. Selections from Wesley's sermons, journals, letters and hymns reveal his extraordinary grasp of Christian faith and life. Furthermore, the author's introductory essay and notes provide an excellent commentary on Wesley's role as theologian, preacher, hymn writer and church leader."--Charles Yrigoyen, Jr., Editor, Methodist History. "Charles Wesley: A Reader is hghly recommended for students of the Wesleys and their theology, religion in eighteenth-century England, and hymnology."-- Southwestern Journal of Theology "A fascinating contribution to Wesley studies, making available material which is normally only accessible to users of the Methodist Archives and Research Centre.

Furthermore, the author's introductory essay and notes provide an excellent commentary on Wesley's role as theologian, preacher, hymn writer and church leader."--Charles Yrigoyen, Jr., Editor, Methodist History. "The years between the hardback and paperback editions of the book have not diminished its usefulness... The book draws from a variety of sources, but particularly from Wesley's diary, letters, and hymns. Much of the material is published for the first time in this volume... Highly recommended for students of the Wesleys and their theology, religion in eighteenth-century England, and hymnology."--Southwestern Journal of Theology
