The Father Of Methodism. A Sketch Of The Life And Labours Of J. Wesley by Edith Waddy. This concise biography traces the life of John Wesley, founder of Methodism, from humble Epworth beginnings to global movement. Edith Waddy presents a chronological portrait, beginning with Wesley's childhood, family influence, and schooling at Charterhouse and Oxford, where the Holy Club formed and disciplined peers toward pious aims. The narrative follows his voyage to Georgia, earlier failures, and the turning point of conversion at Aldersgate, under Moravian guidance, which reshaped his understanding of faith and assurance. It surveys his partnership with his brother Charles, his open-air preaching, and the rapid growth of the Methodist societies, class meetings, and love-feasts. The book covers the Foundery and City Road chapels, the spread to Ireland and America, and the many fellow-laborers who supported the work. It highlights trials with opposition from clergy and mobs, yet shows Wesley's organizational genius and lasting influence on English religious life and a worldwide movement.
