One of the first major Methodist theologians,
John Fletcher was known by his contemporaries to be
a humble man of great faith. A friend of John and
Charles Wesley, Fletcher became an articulate
defender of Wesleyan-Arminian doctrines, challenging
the predominance of Calvinism among his peers. His
writings and sermons, many originally written to
defend John Wesley from attacks of heresy,
influenced
generations
of
theologians
and
preachers. The Works of the Reverend John Fletcher
(6
vols.) includes
Fletcher's Five
Checks
to
Antinomianism and Portrait of St. Paul, two works that
solidified his place among the top Christian thinkers of
his day. Also included are sermons, essays, personal
correspondence, lectures, and more, as well as a
biography on Fletcher by Joseph Benson and the
biography of his extraordinary wifethe first female
authorized to preach in the Methodist Church.

Works of the Reverend John Fletcher (6 vols.)
I have not known one so uniformly and deeply
devoted to God.... nor do I expect to find another
such, on this side of eternity.
John Wesley
Here was a man who had been forgotten by modern
Christendom, and deprived of mention by the
historians, but who appears to have changed the
course of national events through his prayers and
zeal. It struck me as being strange that such a saint,
although reserved (and thus elusive), should be
neglected by us if he had been such a source of
inspiration and godliness then. The fortunes of history
are beyond human explanation, and sometimes the
very ones who ought to be long-remembered are
pushed out of the limelight by those who have more
voluble supporters.

David R. Smith
No age ever provided a man of more fervent piety or
more perfect charity, and no church ever possessed a
more apostolic minister.
Robert Southey
One of the most pious and useful ministers of his
generation. He preached with great fervor the plain
truths of the Gospel, and labored incessantly during
the week to awaken sinners.
D. S. Schaff
John Fletcher was born in Nyon, Switzerland
in 1729. Educated in Geneva, Fletcher was ordained
in 1752. He married Mary Bosanquet who became the
first female preacher authorized by John Wesley to
preach. For twenty-five years (17601785) Fletcher
served as the vicar of the parish of Madeley. Although
he was the "Arminian of Arminians" and preached
against Calvinism, Fletcher was remembered by
followers and detractors as "not a polemist, but
always treated his opponents with fairness and
courtesy." (D. S. Schaff)
A biography of John Fletcher, reflecting on
his life and work. Included are interviews with John
Wesley, Fletcher's wife Mary Bosanquet, and more.
Benson explores Fletcher's personal letters, his
conversion to Christianity, his work as a dedicated
minister, the process that led him to write on
controversial subjects, and why, even when they
disagreed with his theology, people were inspired by
and drawn to him. An inspirational work on an
inspirational man.
This biography of Mary Fletcher, John
Fletcher's wife, is not only inspiring, but historically
important: Mary Bosanquet Fletcher was the first
female authorized to preach in the Methodist Church.
After the death of her husband, Mary continued in his
duties for almost thirty years. Most of this biography is
taken straight from her own diaries and letters, giving
great insight into the mind of this faithful servant of
God.
