Originally published in 1746, Classics of the Faith: John Wesley, is a collection of 141 sermons delivered by John Wesley throughout his life. The original volumes are divided into five books, the first two of which were compiled and edited by Wesley himself. This selection includes sermons from his first volume, which focus on salvation and the path to heaven. Some of the sermons include: salvation by faith, justification by faith, the spirit of bondage and adoption, the means of grace, and the marks of the new birth. Wesley's preaching has influenced theological beliefs and teaching throughout the church, making his sermons part of the legacy within the Christian faith.
