ABSTRACT
This is the second of the two chapters dedicated to an analysis of Charles Wesley’s use of resignation in his extant poetic texts. This chapter focusses on Charles’ use of resignation in relation to the believer. The majority of resignation texts apply to the life of the believer and these address five key aspects of the believer’s life and faith: resigning earthly things, resigning people, resigning the will and heart, resigning the whole being, and resigning the self in death. These themes are addressed in this chapter and supported by examples given from Charles’ poetic texts.
