"The Life and Times of the Rev. Samuel Wesley, M.A." by L. Tyerman is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book chronicles the life of Samuel Wesley, who was not only a significant figure in his own right but also the father of John and Charles Wesley, the founders of the Methodist movement. The narrative delves into the historical context of England during the Civil Wars, exploring the ecclesiastical and political upheaval of the time and highlighting the impact of these events on Samuel Wesley's life and work. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to the tumultuous state of English society between 1640 and 1665, characterized by political strife and religious discord. The chapter outlines the events leading up to the English Civil War, including the tensions surrounding King Charles I's reign and the impact of the Act of Uniformity on the clergy, including the ejection of many ministers. The text sets the stage for understanding Samuel Wesley's early influences, his family's background, and the significant socio-religious atmosphere in which he was raised, indicating how these factors shaped his life and future contributions to the church and society.
