Excerpt from Critical Essays
Such a mind is always an active and a versatile one; and few have equalled, none perhaps excelled, Wesley's industry and many-sidedness. For fifty years he rose at four in the morning. He read while he made his journeys on horseback - a dangerous practice, which cost him one or two serious accidents; and in the latter part of his life, when increasing infirmities obliged him to use a carriage, he read still more. Hence, during the seasons snatched by economical management of time out of the busiest of lives, he not only kept up the high acquirements in academical lore which he had made his own at Oxford, but mastered most of the modern lan guages, was well read in almost every science and every study to which he could get access, and kept thoroughly up with the lighter literature of the day - poetry, pam phlets, and works of fiction. The list of his revised editions of other men's books, of his epitomes, manuals.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compendium of seven essays written by seven scholars in the 19th century. The essays explore religious thought in 17th and 18th century England and examine various approaches to the interpretation of the Bible. Two of the essays stand apart from the rest; one dwells on the general theme of the education of the human race, while the other presents a historical overview of religious thought trends in England following 1688. The remaining five essays cover a range of topics in biblical criticism including the interpretation of the book of Genesis, the miracles of Jesus, the eternal punishment of the wicked, and the relation between science and religion. The book as a whole reflects the growing influence of German biblical criticism on English religious thought and offers valuable insights into the development of modern biblical interpretation.
