This is the 2nd Edition of John Wesley's Tracts on Prayer published by furocious studios (revised Aug 2017). The contents of this book are similar to those found in The Works of the Rev John Wesley - Volume Xi used for the first edition. Used in this edition are the original booklets with substantive capitalization found in early 18th Century. The main difference in this book from the original booklets is the modern text-type rather than Caslon. Other than that this book keeps the original style especially the European English spellings. These editions are preserved here in flavour with John Wesley's Prayer Collection. They have nice little surprises like Wesley's Preface. Little touches like that keep this book from being redundant with other collections of Wesley's work. There are also Hymns added to the collection of Prayers for Children and a tiny delightful booklet called GRACES perfect to make this book complete.

Moins d'un an après sa célèbre expérience de conversion à Aldersgate Street durant laquelle son c¿ur se réchauffa étrangement , John Wesley et son frère Charles commencèrent leurs prédications en plein air. Dès le printemps 1739, il n'était pas rare de trouver une foule de plusieurs milliers de personnes rassemblées pour écouter leurs sermons.Au sein de l'Église d'Angleterre, la religion officielle du pays, beaucoup s'opposaient à ce mouvement de réveil. Les Wesley étaient considérés comme des extrémistes et les foules qui les écoutaient prêcher comme une menace pour l'ordre public. Le mouvement évangélique bénéficiait néanmoins de la sympathie du peuple qui voyait en ses membres une force de renouveau pour la vie religieuse britannique, qui se trouvait par ailleurs en stagnation.En 1746, le méthodisme de Wesley était devenu une composante dynamique et solidement établie du paysage religieux. C'est en cette même année que Wesley publia le premier tome de ses sermons. Deux autres volumes suivirent en 1748 et en 1750. Un sermon supplémentaire intitulé Les Pensées vagabondes fut ajouté à la deuxième édition du volume de 1750, portant ainsi le nombre total de sermons à 44, rassemblés en quatre volumes.En 1763, Wesley fixa dans un document légal le règlement de ce qu'il appelait les maisons de prédication. Ces petites chapelles étaient le lieu de rassemblement des premiers méthodistes et ce document prescrivait à toute personne utilisant ces locaux de ne prêcher aucune doctrine qui ne se trouvait pas dans son livre NOTES SUR LE NOUVEAU TESTAMENT ainsi que dans les quatre volumes de ses sermons. Ces sermons seront par la suite communément appelés Sermons de référence.En 1771, Wesley publie un recueil de 32 volumes rassemblant l'ensemble de ses écrits et sobrement intitulé ¿UVRES. Dans les quatre premiers volumes de ce recueil se trouvent les 44 sermons de référence ainsi que neuf autres, portant le nombre total de sermons à 53.Il est bon de se souvenir que Wesley publia plus de 140 de ses sermons et en prêcha bien davantage tout au long de sa vie. Cependant, celui-ci était convaincu que dans ces 44 sermons de référence écrits au début de son ministère, auxquels il ajouta neuf autres sermons par la suite, étaient présentés tous les points de doctrine essentiels qu'il avait enseignés tout au long de sa vie. La première partie du présent volume est donc composée de ces 53 sermons.Les éditeurs ont choisi de numéroter ces sermons de référence, ainsi que plusieurs autres sermons supplémentaires, selon la convention utilisée par Thomas Jackson dans son édition de 1872 du recueil intégral des sermons de Wesley. L'histoire n'a pas retenu l'identité du traducteur de ces sermons de l'anglais en français. Les éditeurs de la présente collection sont reconnaissants à Yves Petrakian pour tous ses efforts qui ont mené à la révision et à la publication de ces sermons sur son site Web www.123-Bible.com.

John and Charles Wesley led the Methodist revival that swept eighteenth-century England and America and changed the face of Christianity forever. Their spirituality synthesized a unique blend of elements from the church fathers, Catholic mystics, and Protestant Reformers. This selection includes John's incisive writings on the spiritual life as well as the famous hymns of Charles, giving vibrant expression to the faith of the Wesleys. "About a quarter before nine, while he was describing the change which God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone for salvation; and an assurance was given me that he had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death." -- John Wesley

Holiness and perfection are key themes of Christian spirituality discussed by Christians of all traditions. This work talks about spirituality.

This is the first in an eagerly awaited series of four volumes of John Wesley's sermons. It contains a detailed introduction as well as sermons 1-33 of Sermons on Several Occasions. Of all the genres in Wesley's prodigious output, his sermons most clearly focus and expound his understanding of Christian existence. Outler's introduction in the first volume concentrates two decades of painstaking research and thought on Wesley. From this he ably sets the stage for a fuller understanding and appreciation of a major Christian heritage, a heritage which can at last be seen as a whole against the background of its sources. The four volumes contain 151 sermons, including a number recovered from Wesley's manuscripts. These constitute the core of Wesley's doctrinal teachings upon which his own evangelical movement was founded. Following Wesley's own ordering, Dr. Outler begins with the familiar Sermons on Several Occasions, which present Wesley's basic teachings on salvation and form the bulk of the first two volumes in the series. Outler masterfully demonstrates the significance of all the subsequent sermons since they exhibit Wesley's entire approach to the Christian life. Each volume is rich with footnotes that include the identification of quotations, elucidation of references, the tracing of key themes, and vital background information on each sermon. Representing the culmination of twenty years of exhaustive research, it is the purpose of these conclusive volumes to keep alive the growing interest in Wesleyan studies for the entire Christian church. All Works of John Wesley volumes are designed to keep the pages clean and in place for years to come., with casebound non-cloth hardcover, dust jacket, and secure adhesive binding.

Although many of the letters of John Wesley are of value as literature--especially as crisp statements of his views or desires with little attempt at embellishment--their major importance is as a revelation of him as a man and of the people and events of his day, especially those linked with the Methodist movement. They furnish us, in fact, with a portrait through seventy years that is both more revealing in detail and fuller in coverage than any other source. The correspondence presented in this first of seven planned volumes of Wesley's Letters offers many intimate glimpses of the man during his early years which are available nowhere else: of his strong family ties, of his leaning upon his mother for theological and spiritual as well as moral guidance, of his bedazzlement by Mary Pendarves (later Mrs. Delany), of the noble experiment of the Holy Club at Oxford, of the struggle between spiritual ideals and worldly reality during his brief ministry in Georgia, and of the birth of the Methodist societies in London and Bristol.

This is the third volume of Wesley's Journal to appear in the critical edition of The Works of John Wesley. Covering the period from late 1743 through 1754, it contains four "Extracts" from Wesley's Journal (6-9) which document, in Wesley's own words, an important period of expansion and organization in the Wesleyan revival. He describes in vivid detail the spread of the Methodist movement in the north and west of England, as well as its beginnings in Ireland and Scotland. This period of growing social and political tension is marked also by Wesley's theological controversies with leading figures in the Established Church and his physical confrontations with riotous mobs in the countryside. His yearly schedule included extensive travel to visit the societies, and held the first conferences of Methodist preachers in England and Ireland to settle important matters of doctrine and discipline. He produced several key writings during that time, including three volumes of Sermons and two volumes of Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament. His writings in medicine were matched by the opening of a free public dispensary, and he continued to develop other social programs in education, child care, and finance for the poor. Features footnotes to quotations, key themes, and background information.

This is the second volume of Wesley's Journal to appear in the critical edition of The Works of John Wesley. Covering the period from late 1783 to 1743, it documents--in Wesley's own words--the formative years of the Methodist revival in Great Britain.
