John Wesley
was one of the most important Anglican theologians and is most remembered for
helping found Methodism. Many of Wesley’s doctrines contrasted Whitefield’s
Calvinism and promoted his theology in his evangelism and missions. His journal
became some of the most valuable sources of information on the rise of
Methodism, evangelism and missions, as well as a detailed account of British
life in the 18th-century.
One of his
other important works was his “Survey of the Wisdom of God in the Creation”

Roger Bacon philosophy, on Ancient Egyptian philosophy, and the philosophy of
Pythagoras, Plato, and Aristotle. Other notable topics include:
·
On glass burning

On Spirits and Divine Things
·
Discoveries of fire, gunpowder, phosphorus,
and aurum fulminans
·
Discoveries found by the microscope
