| Summary: | John Wesley’s Aldersgate experience: A reassessment The well-known experience of Wesley at Aldersgate Street on 24 May 1738 is widely considered to be his conversion. In this article an attempt is made to determine the following: » whether this experience can be styled a conversion » whether there is support for another localization for Wesley’s conversion; » what the nature of the Aldersgate experience was if not a conversion. In order to achieve these ends the evidence on the following aspects of Wesley’s life is considered: » the Aldersgate experience itself; » the events prior and subsequent to Aldersgate; » changes in Wesley’s theological understanding of salvation. The conclusion opposes the popular view on Aldersgate. |
