Wrestling the Angel Jr S T Kimbrough

In his hymns and poems, Charles Wesley takes all who sing and read on an inward journey, asking soul-searching questions which are as up-to-date now as they were in the eighteenth century. They reflect his quest for identity as a human being, clergyman, and follower of Jesus Christ. His questions about God, Jesus, faith, others, self, the world, and daily living are still today's questions. This book is not an exhaustive study of such questions in the context of Wesleyan history, theology, or hymnody. It is an attempt to look afresh at questions we are asking to which Charles Wesley often responded in familiar and unfamiliar hymns and poems.
