An examination of the lives and practices of the two most prominent preachers of the 18th-century evangelical revival, emphasising their affinities.
The proposal of this book is to guide the reader to the contrastive ministries of the two most dominant preachers of the eighteen-century evangelical revival.
In a wonderful comparative approach the author draws John Wesley and George Whitefield's portraits and explores their life and practice, as well as their relationship. Committed to the principle that the 'whole world was their parish', Wesley and Whitefield manifested their singular desire to be men of one book through preaching ministries that were equally committed to the spread of the gospel throughout the transatlantic world.

...[A] cogent, lucid and eirenic book...
— Martin Wellings
...What is refreshing about this work is its utter objectivity. The ministries of Whitefield and Wesley are carefully compared, but without using the comparison to promote the one or the other's theological distinctives...[...] ...[Men of One Book] helps us to appreciate both the evangelists in a better way, to understand their differences of approach, but also to rejoice in their many glorious similarities. Both were men of one book and both taught total depravity, justification by faith and the necessity of the new birth...
— Pastor Peter Simpson
...Maddock produces a text that works on a scholarly level, as well as providing helpful insights as to how both characters engaged with Scripture...
— Stephen Skuce
a thorough and helpful investigation. [...] this is an eirenic and thoughtful study, drawing together a considerable body of material, and its author may be well satisfied with the result.
