關於作者

John Wesley (1703-1791) was a seminal figure in 18th-century England, best known as the co-founder of Methodism, a movement that sought to reform the Church of England from within. Born in Epworth, Lincolnshire, Wesley was the fifteenth child of Samuel and Susanna Wesley, both of whom were deeply religious and instilled in him a fervent spiritual discipline.Wesley's life was marked by a series of transformative experiences, including a near-death encounter in a fire at his family home and a profound spiritual awakening during a mission to the American colonies. These events galvanized his commitment to evangelical work and social reform. His itinerant preaching, often conducted in open fields to reach the working class, was revolutionary at a time when religious services were confined to the sanctity of church walls.Wesley's influence extended beyond theology into social issues, advocating for prison reform, the abolition of slavery, and the alleviation of poverty. His establishment of Methodist societies provided not only spiritual guidance but also practical support, such as education and healthcare, to marginalized communities.Controversially, Wesley's Arminian theology, which emphasized free will and personal responsibility, clashed with the Calvinist predestination doctrine prevalent among his contemporaries. This theological rift led to intense debates and even schisms within the Protestant community.Wesley's prolific writing, including sermons, pamphlets, and journals, left an indelible mark on both religious and secular thought. His ideas influenced contemporary writers and reformers, laying the groundwork for future social justice movements. Wesley's legacy endures in the global Methodist Church, which continues to champion the causes he held dear.
