The late Frank Baker, Duke Divinity School’s expert on John Wesley, wrote an article about Wesley entitled THE REAL JOHN WESLEY.
Over the years it is safe to say that I have come to know John Wesley better than I knew my own father. In all sincerity, and with all the weight I can muster, I claim that whatever his errors in memory, in judgment, in tact, throughout his long adult life until his death at the age of 87 in 1791, John Wesley consistently and courageously lived to the glory of God, never to the glory of John Wesley.
