About this video

Runtime: 37 mins

Calvin Samuel discusses John Wesley, a key figure in the 18th-century evangelical revival and founder of the Methodist Church. Wesley's theology combined high church Anglicanism with deep Puritan spirituality. He emphasized doctrines such as conversion, new birth, the witness of the spirit, and holiness or Christian perfection. Notably, Wesley had a heart-warming experience in 1738, which marked a pivotal moment in his ministry. His field preaching, particularly among the poor and marginalized, thrived during the Industrial Revolution, transforming Methodism into a significant religious movement.
