The works of the Rev. John Wesley, Vol. 14 (of 32)

This volume brings together a vivid assortment of personal letters, short meditations, diary entries, and earnest appeals penned by a leading 18th‑century religious figure and his close acquaintances. Readers will hear intimate correspondence—such as a candid letter from a devoted friend questioning a sermon’s sincerity—alongside thoughtful scriptural reflections and brief biographical sketches. The material offers a window into the devotional life and theological debates of the era, while preserving the spontaneity of everyday faith practice.

The edition has been carefully prepared for modern ears: archaic spellings remain, but punctuation and abbreviations have been standardized, and helpful footnotes explain obscure references. Transcriber’s notes flag where illustrations appear and where editorial decisions were made, ensuring smooth listening without sacrificing original flavor. Listeners can follow the rhythm of 18‑century prose, enriched by subtle cues that guide understanding, making the experience both scholarly and personally resonant.
