"The Life and Times of the Rev. John Wesley, M.A., Founder of the Methodists" by Rev. L. Tyerman is a historical biography written in the late 19th century. This work aims to provide a comprehensive account of John Wesley’s life, focusing on his profound impact as a religious leader and the founder of Methodism during a time of significant religious reform. It explores not only the events of Wesley’s life but also the socio-religious context in which he operated, highlighting his importance in the broader history of Christianity. The opening of the biography introduces John Wesley's early life and formative years, detailing his birth in 1703 in Epworth, the challenges of his childhood—including a devastating fire that nearly took his life—and his educational journey at Charterhouse School and Oxford University. Tyerman emphasizes the influence of his parents, particularly his mother Susannah, on his early religious education and character development. Wesley’s serious disposition and initial struggles with faith as he grew older are noted, foreshadowing the internal conflicts he would later address in his life’s work. The groundwork laid in this opening section sets the stage for examining how Wesley transformed into a pivotal figure in Christianity, dedicated to spreading his message of salvation and reform.
