Charles Wesley and the Struggle for Methodist Identity
Gareth Lloyd
Abstract
Charles Wesley has been a problem figure for church historians. The great hymn‐writer's contribution to Methodism and the 18th century Evangelical Revival has frequently been seen primarily in terms of his poetic work. His vital role in other aspects has been undervalued and often seen through a filter imposed by denominational historians who have Charles's brother John Wesley as the main focus of attention.
Keywords: Charles Wesley, John Wesley, Methodism, Anglican Church, Evangelical Revival, British religion, religious identity, Methodist scholarship, sibling relationships, Church‐Methodism
