    HUMILITY IN THE WRITINGS OF CHARLES WESLEY AND THE EARLY CHURCH FATHERS/MOTHERS
    S T KIMBROUGH JR.
    Humility is a central focus of the early church fathers/mothers. Similarly, it is at the heart of Charles Wesley's thought expressed in his poetry, sermons, and journal.

For Wesley the...

    WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY? POETRY’S ETERNAL QUESTION
    S T KIMBROUGH JR.

The choice of words, rhyme, free verse, etc., and many other aspects of composition comprise the poet's art of rhetoric. It is not the purpose here to pursue an extensive discussion of the characteristics of poetic rhetoric, b...

    NATURE’S FINAL CURTAIN CALL?

    In the performing arts, curtain calls transpire when performers return to the stage to be recognized by the audience for their performance. It may seem somewhat strange to speak of "nature's curtain call," but I am thinking of those amazing moments when with the passing of seasons Mother Nature presents a stunning performance, so to speak, for which we, the observers, are amaze...

    WRESTLING THE ANGEL
    S T KIMBROUGH JR.
    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...

    THE STRUGGLE TO BELIEVE
    S T KIMBROUGH JR.
    Many people of faith struggle with aspects of their beliefs. These poems do not seek to propose resolutions to all faith struggles. They do seek to help one toward self-examination, to be honest about these struggles, and to know that to confront them does not mean loss of faith. The study of the biblical languages of Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic makes clear that there are not al...

    MAY SHE HAVE A WORD WITH YOU?

    Perhaps Charles Wesley's two volumes of Funeral Hymns (1746 and 1759), plus a few poems left in manuscript form, are the least known of his poetical corpus. They are a treasury, however, of his views on the importance of women in eighteenth-century England as examples of how to live the Christian life. Entries in his MS Journal indicate an extremely positive relationship with w...

What one awaits does not change the nature of Christ's coming, but it g...
