From the publisher

Understanding John Wesley offers a compelling, accessible exploration of one of Christianity's most influential leaders. Drawing from rigorous historical research and the author's original theological study, this book reintroduces readers to the real Wesley, scholar, preacher, organiser, and spiritual pioneer, whose defining message of justification by faith ignited the eighteenth-century Evangelical Revival and continues to shape global Christianity today.
