John Wesley DID Publish Notes on the Old Testament!

JOHN WESLEY MOMENTS
DAVE HANSON
 
Ooops! I made a mistake in a recent John Wesley Moment when I stated that John Wesley wrote Notes on the New Testament, but never wrote Notes on the Old Testament. Wesley gave three reasons for not writing Notes on the Old Testament. He was busy with other important things like evangelism. There were things in the Old Testament he did not understand, and others had already done an adequate job on the Old Testament.
 
Actually, these reasons were contained in the preface to his Notes on the Bible, including Notes on the Old Testament. He went on to explain that most of his information was taken from the works of others, which he usually made simpler and more understandable for the common man.
 
The Rev. Dave Hanson is a retired pastor and John Wesley scholar.
