English Spirituality in the Age of Wesley

An Anthology of some of the best English spiritual writing in the age of the Great Evangelical Revival, this book is an unprecedented gathering of representative witnesses to the work of the Spirit in the eighteenth century. Emphasizing complete shorter texts -- thoughtful devotional meditations, poems, hymns, pastoral counsel, tracts, and sermons -- this volume crosses denominational lines to include spiritual writings from Isaac Watts, Philip Doddridge, Elizabeth Rowe, William Law, Christopher Smart, John and Charles Wesley, George Whitefield, John Fletcher, John Newton, William Cowper, Hannah More, and William Wilberforce.
