From Library Journal
Charles Wesley (1707-1788) was the younger brother of John Wesley, the founder of Methodism. He had a distinguished career as a notable hymnist, poet, and preacher, and this excellent collection of representative selections from his personal journal, hymns, poems, and sermons documents his significant role in English religious history. The collection provides primary source documents concerning the Anglican-Methodist split, and it can be recommended without hesitation to academic and seminary collections in Church music history and theology. American readers should be particularly interested in the documents concerning Wesley's Georgia sojourn in the 1730s. Susan A. Stussy, Marian Coll. Lib., Indianapolis
