Adam Clarke (1762–1832) was an Irish Methodist preacher and biblical scholar. Largely self-taught in languages, he spent decades producing his great Commentary on the Bible, still consulted today, and served repeatedly as president of the Wesleyan Methodist Conference. Our library holds his work on entire sanctification, the doctrine at the heart of early Methodism, which he expounded and defended throughout his ministry.

A clear statement of the Wesleyan teaching by one of early Methodism's most learned voices.
