Sermons on Several Occasions

About this book

John Wesley's Sermons on Several Occasions, first published in 1746, formed the doctrinal standard by which Methodist preaching was to be guided. The sermons teach salvation by faith, justification, holiness, and the disciplined Christian life in Wesley's clear, orderly manner. Together with his other standard works, they remain foundational documents of Methodism and models of practical divinity.
