"Diversity, tolerance, inclusivity, and social justice are the chief values of postmodernity and political correctness. In a culture where these are deemed some of the last remaining virtues and biblical principles are routinely scorned, what should the church's posture be? Should Christians adjust the gospel, remodel our message, and bring our statements of faith more in line with the world's thinking? To ask that question is to answer it. But in case the answer isn't clear, these superbly-written essays spell it out in brilliant detail. I'm grateful for the courage of these men and the clarity of their voices. This is a vitally important volume, sounding all the right notes of passion, warning, instruction, and hope."--Phil Johnson, Executive Director of Grace To You

The preaching and writing of John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, galvanized audiences during his lifetime and remain richly relevant today. The works known as Wesley's "standard" sermons-the 44 sermons he published between 1746 and 1760 plus the nine he added in a 1771 edition-laid out the heart of his preaching and defined the doctrine of the burgeoning Methodist movement. Though Wesley strove to offer what he called plain truth for plain people, his characteristically 18th-century prose can be challenging for modern readers. This meticulous new three-volume edition of the standard sermons gently paraphrases archaic phrasing, simplifies some confusing sentence structures, and makes sparing abridgements where duplicative wording or examples obscure rather than clarify meaning. Preserving Wesley's points, sequence, paragraph and sermon numbering, these judicious and respectful treatments help make the standard sermons accessible to contemporary readers without compromising Wesley's voice, meaning or intention. An ideal reference tool for pastors preparing sermons or classes in Wesleyan heritage and theology, they will also appeal to seminarians and other students, Methodists looking for a deeper understanding of Wesley's beliefs, Christians seeking forthright guidance on the path to personal salvation, and general readers interested in exploring the thought of one of history's most original, influential and inspiring religious minds.
