{"product_id":"john-wesley-stephen-tomkins-9780802824998","title":"John Wesley: A Biography","description":"A compelling portrait of the father of Methodism. The life and work of John Wesley (1703-1791) has had an enormous influence on modern Christianity, not least for his role as father of the Methodist church. John Wesley is a popular biography of the great figure, which brings his career and ideas alive for a new generation. Written with verve and grounded in thorough research, the book tells the story of Wesley's colorful and dramatic life. Stephen Tomkins chronicles Wesley's family background and early childhood, his school and university career, and his adult life as a religious leader in England. Throughout this engaging portrait, Tomkins pauses to explore a number of key issues in Wesley's increasingly rich religious views, including the renunciation of wealth and the role of women in church life. The volume concludes with an important assessment of Wesley's abiding influence both in his own country and abroad. Superbly crafted, John Wesley will interest those from the Methodist tradition as well as all general readers of church history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Tomkins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802824994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802824998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
