“Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can.”

― John Wesley

 

John Wesley was one of the most important Anglican theologians and is most remembered for helping found Methodism. Many of Wesley’s doctrines contrasted Whitefield’s Calvinism and promoted his theology in his evangelism and missions. His journal became some of the most valuable sources of information on the rise of Methodism, evangelism and missions, as well as a detailed account of British life in the 18^th-century.

 

One of his other important works was his “Survey of the Wisdom of God in the Creation” – a collection essays on different facets of philosophy including a revival of Roger Bacon philosophy, on Ancient Egyptian philosophy, and the philosophy of Pythagoras, Plato, and Aristotle. Other notable topics include:

• On glass burning
• On Spirits and Divine Things
• Discoveries of fire, gunpowder, phosphorus, and aurum fulminans
• Discoveries found by the microscope
• On blood transfusions
