No dust jacket. Adam Clarke (1762 ? 1832) was a British Wesleyan Methodist theologian and biblical scholar best known, perhaps, for his multi-volume commentary on the Bible. In 1778, at the age of fourteen, Rev. John Wesley invited him to become a pupil in the Methodist seminary lately established at Kingswood, Bristol. In 1779, he converted from Anglicanism to Methodism after listening to a preacher. Clarke was an early critic of slavery based on his understanding of Isaiah 58:6. This volume is a classic Wesleyan treatise, as well as a handy and valuable compendium of his theology. NOTE: This is the original 2nd edition and not a later reprint edition.
