John Wesley wrote this series of sermon commentaries to help
people understand Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. It took him over 15 years
to complete this important work. Over time, changes within the English
language caused some of these writings to be very difficult for the
average person to read, and were really only suited for the most
dedicated theologian.
Through careful and sensitive editing, Clare Weakley, Jr. has brought
these sermons back to life for every reader in the modern world to be
able to enjoy and understand Wesley’s in-sights and teachings regarding
the Sermon on the Mount.
John Wesley was born in 1703. He was one of ten surviving
children. He was trained for ministry at Oxford and in 1729 joined a
club of young men who were interested in spiritual growth. This group
eventually became known as the Methodists.
Wesley failed as a missionary
to the colony of Georgia. He returned to Great Britain, and in 1738,
under Moravian preacher Peter Boehler, Wesley experienced a “by faith
alone” spiritual rebirth during which his heart was “strangely warmed.”
This launched his evangelism work throughout the British Isles until his
death in 1791. |
