The character of a Methodist. By John Wesley, ... The third edition.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.

Now more than ever!

Essay read with simple words, as Wesley himself would say; plain words for plain people. To think and let think, to agree to disagree, and Holiness of Heart and Life.

Simple, straightforward, and direct!

No casual relationship with our creator- it is what it is.

A Most Excellent Gospel commentary!

Would that Every Brother and Sister in Christ would agree with this simple yet profound statement of faith in God and Jesus Christ!
