Translated into Modern English by James D. Holway Foreword by Dr. A. Skevington Wood. Wesley’s 44 sermons “appealed in a unique way to the rank and file of the population in eighteenth century Britain…. He designed ‘plain truth for plain people’… However, what was easily grasped by listeners two hundred years ago and more is not so apparent to modern readers…. hence the need for the kind of rendering represented by Dr. Holway’s paraphrase.
