Description
The theological concerns of Charles Wesley are expressed primarily through his repertory of over 9,000 hymns and sacred poems. They include inquiries into the meaning of the Church's sacred rites, festivals, and seasons e.g., Holy Communion, Baptism, Advent, Christmas, Easter, Ascension, Pentecost and a host of other concerns, such as conversion, sanctification, perfection, holiness, grace and love. This volume prepares the reader to read Wesley's poetry, showing the plethora of literary, theological and societal influences on his thought and writing; and brings together a collection of hymns and sacred poems that are representative of his theological perspectives. The reader is given the opportunity to become better equipped to grasp the meaning of Wesley's profound lyrical theology and its implications for contemporary theology and life. This revised and expanded edition includes a comprehensive scriptural index to Wesley's poetry.
