John Wesley's insistence on strict discipline for himself was early extended to those who chose to join his movement. Persons who wished to retain their membership in Wesley's societies were expected to follow three General Rules: " "(1) doing no harm; (2) doing good; and (3) attending upon all the ordinances of God." First published in 1743 under the title The Nature, Design, and General Rules of the United Societies, these three simple rules constitute Methodism's first book of discipline.As the title hints, the rules were prefaced by a brief history of the Methodist societies and their organization. Examples were offered to illustrate the ways in which each of the three general rules were expected to work out in practical living. John Wesley claimed that both the principles and their application were based upon the New Testament and the practice of the Apostolic Church, especially as depicted by William Caves' Primitive Christianity.

Spanning some fifty-five years, John Wesley's voluminous Journal records the daily tribulations experienced in traveling the length and breadth of the British Isles in the 18th century. These selections present an engrossing portrait of Wesley during the course of his travels and evangelical activities, illuminating the preacher's views and opinions on a host of contemporary matters. Begun as a public vindication of his early spiritual and pastoral work in Oxford and America, Wesley's journal became a means of keeping far-flung outposts of Methodism in touch with one another, a device for administering encouragement and rebukes, and a textbook of the experiential religion Wesley spent his life proclaiming. Wesley's eclectic interests and passion for rational analysis also make the Journal a rich source for any reader interested in observing the conditions and values of Augustan society--particularly those of the lower classes--through the eyes of a well-educated and intelligent gentleman of the time.

Wesley's TractsThis volume gathers together eight representative tracts from Wesley's pen and press.(1) The Principles of a Methodist-1742 The doctrinal controversy with the Calvinists over predestination unleashed by Wesley's 1739 Bristol sermon "Free Grace" brought him under fire. Clergy and laity took aim at Wesley in the pulpits and in the press. Not until 1742, however, did Wesley take the threats seriously. In Principles of a Methodist Wesley tried to clarify his teaching on salvation and Christian perfection.(2) Character of a Methodist-1742 In the early 1730s Wesley read and admired the sketch of a "Perfect Christian" drawn by Clement of Alexandria about A.D. 200. Ten years later Wesley decided to draw such a character himself, only this time using the words of scripture. He had a dual purpose in mind: not simply to expound Christian perfection under an alias, but also to define and defend Methodism as simply good old-fashioned scriptural Christianity.(3) Predestination Calmly Considered-1752At mid-career (1752) Wesley penned and published a summary of his rejection of the predestinarian position. It gathers up the threads of his earlier polemics and establishes the main lines along which the controversy would proceed spasmodically until his death.Both Calvinist and Arminian parties professed a common belief in the doctrines of the sovereignty of God and justification by faith alone. However, they disagreed on the proper role persons could play in the whole affair of salvation. Calvinists saw God's sovereignty threatened by Arminian talk of "free will" and any notion of cooperating response, even if empowered by God's grace. Wesley saw God's character defamed by reprobation and insisted that the gospel balanced God's sovereign grace with human moral responsibility. Pretending to be dialogue, Predestination Calmly Considered reflects these two rigid positions in not so calm collision. (4) Plain Account of Genuine Christianity-1753John Wesley was fond of writing little sketches of the perfect Christian, although he never claimed this character for himself nor ascribed it to other living persons. His Plain Account of Genuine Christianity is designed to offer both a model of holy living to converts and an apology for Methodism's mission to outsiders. Who could quarrel with a religious movement that aimed to make people holy?(5) The Desideratum: or, Electricity Made Plain and Useful-1760John Wesley kept abreast of the literature on electricity, reading the reports of such scientists as Benjamin Franklin and Joseph Priestley. Though his claims for therapeutic use of electricity were exaggerated, Wesley's practice illustrates his commitment to scientific medicine that would be in harmony with knowledge of the natural world.(6) In 1762 John Wesley reissued Part I of The Doctrine of Original Sin, according to Scripture, Reason and Experience as a seventy-five page essay and published it separately with a new title: The Dignity of Human Nature. In both treatise and essay Wesley takes the Protestant hard line, asserting the utter impotence of one's natural moral powers.(7) Short History of Methodism-1765In this1765 sketch Wesley gives only a brief account of Methodist origins. The remainder of the small pamphlet document successive theological squabbles and schisms within the movement.(8) Thoughts Upon Slaverly-1774In matters of human rights, slavery bothered Wesley the most. Methodism began with a vigorous antislavery heritage thanks to him. He read about slavery at Oxford, experienced the horrors of slavery firsthand in South Carolina in the 1730s. Forty years later he was moved to write a fifty-one-page tract entitled Thoughts upon Slavery. In it he repudiated those who argued the necessity of continuing slavery.
