Quotes by Susanna Wesley

Susanna Wesley (1669–1742) — Mutter des Methodismus · Anglikanisch · England

Susanna Wesley (1669–1742) war eine englische Pfarrersfrau und theologische Ratgeberin, die überwiegend im Pfarrhaus von Epworth wirkte. Als „Mutter des Methodismus“ prägte sie durch Hausandachten und Bildungsarbeit ihre Söhne John und Charles Wesley, wobei ihre rigide Erziehungsmethode zur Unterdrückung des kindlichen Eigenwillens heute kritisch betrachtet wird. Für Bibelleser steht sie für eine disziplinierte persönliche Glaubenspraxis und theologische Unterweisung im familiären Raum.
