Reviews

S.T. Kimbrough continues to gift us with the fruit of a lifetime of study of Charles Wesley. This volume, focused on Wesley's time in and reflections on North America, provides much detail on a topic touched on only in passing in most Wesley biographies. Recommended! - Randy L. Maddox, William Kellon Quick Emeritus Professor of Wesley and Methodist Studies, Duke Divinity School For years, S.T. Kimbrough has sought to make Charles Wesley known, through analysis of his theology, diverse publications, especially of little-known portions of Wesley's vast poetic corpus. Here he digs deeply into the American narrative, not stopping at Charles's manuscript journal - but filling in details of the narrative with letters and historical details about the colonial context, much from primary source materials. . . . The present volume is yet one more addition to Kimbrough's invaluable contributions to the -eld of Charles Wesley studies. - Ryan Nicholas Danker, from the Foreword S.T. Kimbrough, the founder of the Charles Wesley Society, has published more works than anyone else in the world on and by Charles Wesley. His expertise shines throughout this volume in a way that matches the importance of his subject for a completer understanding of the history of Methodism in America. - Richard P. Heitzenrater, author of Wesley and the People Called Methodists
