A Christian Library (Wesley's abridgments) with collation apparatus
278 works from Wesley's Christian Library (~4.64M words), full English text plus the collation cuts ('What Wesley Left Out'), headnotes and cross-references as separate fields.
Canonical home: https://achristianlibrary.org (each record carries its canonical URL). This dataset is a machine-generated export of that site's build, regenerated from the source of truth and never hand-edited; the site remains the one published address of the text.
Licence
This edition's own work is CC BY 4.0; public-domain source text is unclaimed. Machine-learning training, fine-tuning, evaluation and retrieval — including commercial model development — are explicitly permitted under those terms: keep the attribution and say if you changed the text. Full terms: https://achristianlibrary.org/rights
Credits
Source text (Wesley's public-domain abridgments) is unclaimed; the apparatus is CC BY 4.0.
How the English was made
English text was drafted with LLM assistance and checked against the source; the verification procedure and what has and has not been checked are described on the site's rights / about pages. Treat it as a careful working translation, not a critical edition.
