The Revd Dr Herbert McGonigle reviews a recent addition to the Wesley Fellowship catalogue below. It is obtainable from The WF Book & Sales Officer at the above address:

Wesley Papers: Papers Presented to the Wesley Fellowship Conference in 2000, edited by Paul Taylor, (The Wesley Fellowship in Association with Moorley's Print and Publishing, Ilkeston, 2002, pp. iv, 98. £11.60, including UK postage. ISBN 0953747301).

These are the four Papers from the Wesley Fellowship Residential Conference, held in 2000.

1. Dr John Colwell compares the teaching of John Wesley and Thomas Aquinas on the extent to which Christians are able to love God and their neighbour with 'perfect love' in this world.
2. Bill Graham examines the education of John Wesley's preachers and his 36 pages, together with some 272 Endnotes, provide a wealth of carefully researched information on this topic.
3. Geoffrey Fewkes provides us with a brief biography of Reader Harris (1847-1909), the founder of the originally-named Pentecostal League of Prayer, and a comparison of John Wesley's and Harris's views on regeneration and sanctification.
4. The fourth Paper is by our late, and highly esteemed, co-founder of the Wesley Fellowship, Bill Parkes. Bill outlines the life and ministry of the American Methodist camp-meeting preacher, Lorenzo Dow (1777-1834). Dow was prominent in the early days of Primitive Methodism and preached with great power and conviction. Sadly in his latter years he fell away into Freemasonry and died apparently in spiritual darkness.

All four Papers provide a wealth of information on the subjects dealt with and Wesley Papers is very good value at £11.60, including postage.
