Dr. Taylor of Norwich (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781620320754)

Dr. John Taylor rose to prominence in the mid-eighteenth century with his devastating attack on the doctrine of Original Sin. This drew fierce counterattacks from prominent Methodists such as John Wesley and Jonathan Edwards. While Wesley referred publicly to Taylor as a "great man," he believed him to be a heretic who did great damage to the Christian faith. The tendency among Methodist writers has been to follow Wesley's lead in their assessment of Taylor. However, this controversial and definitive volume, the first of its kind for over a century, reexamines this fascinating man and the controversy he began, offering a fuller and fairer account of the man behind the myth.
