John Wesley : the Man and his Mission

John Wesley : the Man and his Mission
dvd, 2012  55 minutes  Wesley Mission (Australia) £13.99

This is an Australian production although the presenter is English (?) (Superintendent of the Sydney Mission in Australia) and the superb filming takes place all over England.

It is an adequate account of Wesley’s life but rather prosaic and pedestrian in presentation.

If what you want are the barebones of Wesley’s life and work in 18th century England, you will find it here but it lacks inspiration, like a rather dull history lesson.

The bonus features include ‘John Wesley’s sermons delivered by Keith Garner’. However, Keith Garner rather presents summaries of 6 of Wesley’s sermons, quoting snippets from Wesley’s originals.
