The story

Rescued from a burning house as a child, John Wesley believes the experience marked him for a higher purpose, a "brand from the burning." The film follows Wesley's years at Oxford and as a clergyman, his disagreements with the church over the social position of the clergy, his mission to America, the founding of Methodism, and his bringing of the Gospel into the lives of ordinary people.
