The Wesley brothers - John (1703-1791) and Charles (1707-1788) - are famous as the cofounders of the Wesleyan tradition and the Methodist family of churches. Their impact and legacy have been huge: what began as the excited outpouring of their conversion experiences grew into a transatlantic revival and became a vibrant and significant theological
John R. Tyson is Professor of Church History and Director of United Methodist Studies at Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School, Rochester, New York. His other books include Assist Me to Proclaim: The Life and Hymns of Charles Wesley.
Jason Byassee -- Boone United Methodist Church, North Carolina "An accessible and elegant introduction to our Methodist heritage." Ben Witherington III -- Asbury Theological Seminary "Of the making of historical assessments of the Wesleys there is no end, but strangely there have been too few good theological assessments of their legacy in recent years. In clear prose John Tyson, one of the great experts on the Wesleys, shows how their theological largesse is valid and valuable for the church today. Highly recommended." Paul W. Chilcote -- Ashland Theological Seminary "Drawing on the hymns and sermons of Charles Wesley, the lyrical theologian, and on the writings of John Wesley, the preacher theologian, Tyson provides a panoramic vision of their theology of grace. Rather than organizing their theological vision around the classical categories of systematic theology, he demonstrates the organic nature of a lived Wesleyan theology." Christopher H. Evans -- Boston University "This invaluable study of John and Charles Wesley will serve a wide audience in the church and the academy. With great sensitivity to the Wesleys' historical context, Tyson shows how the Wesleyan theological legacy continues to speak to issues facing Christian faith communities in the twenty-first century." Ted A. Campbell -- Perkins School of Theology "A short but very substantial introduction to the rich theological inheritance of John and Charles Wesley. What distinguishes Tyson's work is his intimate knowledge of the Wesleyan literature, especially the poetry of Charles. . . . The result is a rich feast for contemporary folks committed to the Wesleyan way of being Christian."
