The bibliophile in me was more than satisfied earlier in the week. I placed an order last week for a facsimile of Charles Wesley: Seen in his finer and less familiar poems (1867) along with the three volumes of Unpublished poetry of Charles Wesley. Although the former book was sent before the three volumes, the three volumes arrived on Monday, with the other yet to be seen!
I also got a beautiful three volume Life and Times of John Wesley by Tyneman, published in 1873. This is a chronological biography, with each year of Wesley’s life described using his letters and journals and those of people around him (Charles Wesley, George Whitefield among others).
Also acquired were a two part History of the Sermon from around 1910, and The land and the book from the 1880s.
Two more recent theology texts were a 1st English edition of Karl Barth’s Dogmatics in Outline and Emil Brunner’s Dogmatics.
Now the challenge is to actually read some of it! Wish me luck.
