Title: A Real Biography of a Real Christian
Product review: Ken Collins has written a biography of Wesley which may well become a standard text for College level courses on the founder of Methodism (which is the use to which I have put it.) Collins was my church history prof at seminary. He has written several books on Wesley, and is one of the "new lights" in Wesley studies. The book avoids making a stained glass saint out of its subject while at the same time demonstrating a genuine respect and reverence for this great Christian leader. All of the major events of significance are covered but with a readability that is backed up by scholarly research. It is sometimes hard to find a book on a major figure in church history which doesn't give in to the temptation to gloss over the "real" person. Collins has written a book which shows that this "real Christian" was also a "real person." Highly recommended.
