Wesley's Notes on the Bible (Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament)

Name: Wesley's Notes on the Bible (Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament)
Author: John Wesley

John Wesley (1703–1791) was an English Anglican priest whose evangelical ministry gave rise to Methodism. After his Aldersgate experience in 1738, he spent fifty years preaching in the open air, organizing societies, and publishing sermons, hymns, and his Notes on the New Testament. His collected Sermons on Several Occasions became a doctrinal standard for Methodist preaching, and his disciplined, practical divinity shaped evangelical Christianity across the English-speaking world.
