Charles Wesley preached thousands of sermons. Many sermons were preached in the open-air and without notes.
But he also preached with notes and from manuscripts he wrote for that purpose. There is really only one collection of Charles Wesley’s sermons worth buying for your library.
The Sermons
Kenneth Newport published the best and most useful collection of sermons from Charles Wesley available. The appropriately titled The Sermons of Charles Wesley: A Critical Edition with Introduction and Notes is the only volume you need.
It includes all of the sermons in one volume. It also has genuinely helpful notes and commentary on each.
To me, there is only option if you want to study the sermons of Charles Wesley. These primary documents are very helpful in understanding Charles Wesley as a preacher. It’s expensive, but I think it’s worth it.
A Cheaper Alternative
If you’re put off by the price of the collection by Newport, there is a much cheaper option available by CrossReach Publications. It is also available from Amazon.
This book is an incomplete collection. It is a reprinting of the 1816 publication. It contains only twelve sermons from Charles Wesley and one from brother John Wesley.
The edition from Newport contains all twenty-three extant sermons. The shorthand sermons, arguably the most important of the existing sermon manuscripts to give a flavor of Charles Wesley’s post-conversion preaching, are all absent from this shorter collection.
