Wesley: A Guide For The Perplexed

"A strong series of guides, aimed at the student market looking for more than just a basic introduction and overview on the subjects addressed. Each one is well written and contains enough information to get a student well-versed in the subjects at hand and form a strong basis for further study." Â Reviewed in Publishing News, 2008

'Vickers is to be commended for producing a synoptic vision of John Wesley's thought that is not just a great introduction for beginners but offers important new insights for those who have been studying Wesley for some time. He grounds Wesley in the particularity of eighteenth-century establishment Anglicanism, and uses this grounding to sketch a broad coherence among Wesley's ecclesiastical, political, and theological commitments. His central thesis is a landmark for future studies of these issues.' Randy L. Maddox, Professor of Theology and Wesleyan Studies, Duke Divinity School, USA

Vickers's book is worthy of a positive reception by Wesley experts while also serving as excellent entrée into Wesley studies for introductory students
