"No Remedy But Continual Prayer": John Wesley's Theology and Practice of Prayer

By Mark Murphree

John Wesley was a powerful leader in the Evangelical Revival of eighteenth-century England. He traveled across the land preaching the doctrine of justification by faith, facing unruly mobs, and nurturing a network of small groups of committed Christians called Methodists. In the face of all distractions and temptations, he found there was "no remedy" to preserve his relationship with God "but continual prayer." Mark Murphree surveys Wesley's sermons, journals and diaries, and voluminous correspondence to articulate Wesley's underlying theology of prayer and outline how that theology was expressed in practice in the varied circumstances of Wesley's life and ministry.
