Oxford University Press John Wesley in America - Oxford University Press History Book

Explore the formative years of one of history's most influential figures with John Wesley in America: Restoring Primitive Christianity. Published by Oxford University Press, this work by Geordan Hammond offers a fresh look at why Wesley left Oxford academia to serve as a Church of England missionary in the Georgia colony. While many biographers look at Wesley through the lens of later Methodist developments, this study focuses specifically on his time in America. It addresses the long-standing questions regarding his mission in Georgia and whether his ministry there was a success or a failure. By examining this specific period, Hammond provides a new perspective on the events that shaped Wesley's life and religious impact. This book is an essential resource for readers interested in American history, religious studies, and the origins of Methodism.
