This is a list of works by John Wesley, a Christian cleric, theologian and evangelist, who founded the Methodist movement. Wesley produced hundreds of sermons, biblical commentaries, letters, tracts, treatises, and other works. As well as theology he wrote about music, marriage, medicine, abolitionism and politics. Wesley's prose, Works, were first collected by himself (32 vols., Bristol, 1771–74, frequently reprinted in editions varying greatly in the number of volumes). His chief prose works are a standard publication in seven octavo volumes of the Methodist Book Concern, New York. The Poetical Works of John and Charles, ed. G. Osborn, appeared in 13 vols., London, 1868–72.
