DVD JOHN WESLEY BIOGRAPHY

A re-release of the J. Arthur Rank historical classic made in 1954. This cinema drama follows the life of Wesley from the time he was saved out of a burning house as a child and thereby marked for life as a 'brand from the burning.' His Oxford days, a disastrous mission to America, his decisive Alders gate conversion, bringing the Gospel out of the church and into the daily lives of alienated masses, the founding of Methodism, and his astounding role in raising the moral and religious climate in 18th century England are set forth with careful dependence on the historical sources.
