Welcome to the Homepage of the Journal of the Rev. Charles Wesley.  Charles Wesley was the brother of the Rev. John Wesley and co-led what is now called the Methodist Revival.  Charles Wesley lived from 1707-1788.  He was born in Epworth, England and died in the city of London.  What has made Charles Wesley most know has been the over seven-thousand hymns that he wrote throughout his lifetime.  Many of Charles Wesley's hymns are still sung in churches throughout the world.

The Wesley Center for Applied Theology is proud to present to you the entire known manuscript of Charles Wesley's Journal.  We have given you the text of the Journal put together by Thomas Jackson.  The original work covered two volumes and was first published in 1849.  One should read the entire Introduction written by Jackson for a full history of this work of Methodist history.  One will notice that within the text not all dates are accounted for.  This is due to the fact that no manuscript for these times have been known to exist.

The Wesley Center is dedicated to the publishing and distribution of Wesleyan, and Wesleyan related, material on the Internet, as well as our bi-yearly theological conference held on the campus of Northwest Nazarene University.  Please feel free to visit our homepage at http://wesley.nnu.edu for more materials on the Wesleys, Methodist history, and Holiness Classics.

Grace and peace,
