John Elias
They said he was the Methodist Pope
With his hardline ways they could not cope.
He'd thunder and flash,
Turn falsehoods to ash,
He gave Wales the message of hope.
John Elias was one of the leading preachers of Wales in his time. I first heard of him as a teenager, when Banner republished Edmund Morgan's biography. I'm not sure what prompted this blog. I began it, however, in 2007. It can be found here. There are 82 posts there. There have been about 1440 hits or so,
Most popular post on the blog is a notice about the translation of the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Fathers, which has two chapters about Elias. You can find it here.
