The twenty years' conflict between William Law the mystic and John Wesley : studied from their works and correspondence by T. 0. Beacheroft
Production by Douglas Cleverdon with Martin Lewis. Trevor Martin
Peter Neil , Olaf Pooley
' I was once a kind of oracle of Mr. Wesley,' wrote William Law. John Wesley's earliest biographers say that
Law was ' a great forerunner of the revival that followed and did more to prompt it than the rest of the nation taken collectively.' Yet the quarrel which distressed their friends was perhaps to be expected-a quarrel symbolised in the story of Martha and Mary.
