HoM Episode 67 - The First Four Hymn Books
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we look at the first four hymn books published by John Wesley (with his brother, Charles, for three of them). These came out in 1737, 1738, 1739, and 1740. Each gives us a helpful understanding beyond the journals of what was going on at that time. As well, the preface's to the last two offered John Wesley a chance to share his theological understanding in fresh ways. The 1739 preface includes the famous phrase: "The gospel of Christ knows of no religion but social; no holiness but social holiness."
