Explanatory Notes Upon the New Testament by John Wesley

This is a facsimile (from an undated reprint) of John Wesley's work. Wesley translated this work when a debilitating illness prevented him from travelling and preaching. He wanted to create a New Testament that people could understand. The English of the KJV was no longer that commonly spoken. He "examined minutely every word of the New Testament in the original Greek" to create his translation. Though done during this illness during which he expected he might die, this work was really the culmination of 25 years of study begun in 1729. This copy includes all the commentary and notes.
