His Methodist ''Connexion'' was divided from the Church of England, not by dogma and doctrine but by the new relationship which it created between clergy and people.  Throughout a life tortured by doubt about true faith and tormented by a series of bizarre relationships with women, Wesley kept his promise to ''live and die an ordained priest of the Established Church''.  However by the end of the long pilgrimage - from the Oxford Holy Club through colonial Georgia to every market place in England - he knew that separation was inevitable.  But he could not have realised that his influence on the new industrial working class would play a major part in shaping society during the century of Britain''s greatest power and influence and that Methodism would become a worldwide religion and the inspiration of 20th century television evangelism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a first-class biography, lucid and always interesting...
