Embodying Wesley’s Catholic Spirit
Ebook
Overview
To what degree is Wesleyan theology part of the church’s catholic witness? This book explores this question from a number of angles and goes on to embody some of these possibilities in conversation with other major traditions and figures within the Christian church. Overall, the volume shows that Wesleyan theology does draw from and can contribute to conversations related to the catholic Christian witness.
"Methodists may be better known for their commitment to
apostolic mission than to catholic doctrine. Yet, Wesley cared
deeply about both, and this book calls those who follow in his
steps to do the same. These essays install a wide-angle lens
on Wesleyan theological vision, so that the People called Methodist
might behold their true location within the Church catholic,
serving the renewal of a Wesleyan way, strengthening the
connections between theology and practice, doctrine and
discipline."
--Jeffrey Conklin-Miller, ThD, Associate Dean for Academic
Programs, E. Stanley Jones Assistant Professor of the Practice of
Evangelism and Christian Formation, Royce and Jane Reynolds
Teaching Fellow, Duke University Divinity School
"Embodying Wesley’s Catholic Spirit offers both internal and
external insights into Wesleyan catholicity--perspectives on both
the Wesleyan tradition itself and the way in which Wesleyan
theology intersects with other branches of the Christian family.
Its contributors locate John Wesley and Wesleyan thought within the
great catholic heritage of the church, providing carefully nuanced
accounts of Wesleyan doctrine ranging from sanctification and
sacramental theology to Trinity and tradition. This volume is
essential reading for those interested in twenty-first-century
ecumenical theology and dialogue."
