Wesley: A Guide for the Perplexed is unavailable, but you can change that!

As anyone familiar with both the stereotypes and the scholarship related to John Wesley knows, tricky interpretive questions abound: was Wesley a conservative, high church Tory or a revolutionary protodemocrat or proto-Marxist?

ways, Wesley is anything but perplexing. He is the sort of person who says what he means and means what he says. Consequently, his inclusion in T&T Clark’s Guides for the Perplexed series should in no way discourage people from reading Wesley for themselves. On the contrary, in this author’s judgement, lay and educated readers alike should not hesitate to dive into Wesley’s sermons or even his journals and diaries. Suffice it to say, the very best way to get to know Wesley is simply to read him.
