The Bible Told Them So: A Look At The Wesleys’ Reliance Upon The Scriptures
Samuel J. Rogal , Chair Emeritus of the Division of Humanities and Fine Arts at Illinois Valley Community College, has pursued studies in eighteenth-century British literature, the Wesleys, and eighteenth and nineteenth- century hymnody since the mid-1960s. He has authored books on John Wesley’s activities in London, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, as well as Essays on John Wesley and His Contemporaries and a ten-volume Biographical Dictionary of Eighteenth Century Methodism. Rogal’s editorial work includes the twenty-one volume A New and Critical Edition of George Osborn’s The Poetical Works of John Wesley and the three-volume A Detailed and Annotated Collection of John Wesley’s Book Reviews, Readings and Commentaries. His four-volume Commentary, Notes and Introduction to the 1858 Sabbath Hymn Book earned him the Adele Mellen Prize for distinguished contribution to scholarship.
