Christian Theology
Overview
Preacher, biblical scholar, and Wesleyan Conference president Adam Clarke was an important early leader of the Methodist movement. Dedicating his life to the study of languages and the Bible, he produced a number of important writings, such as a six-volume commentary on the Bible that is still widely referenced today.
Christian Theology presents a systematic arrangement of Clarke’s theology, offering a comprehensive overview of Christian doctrine from a Wesleyan-Arminian position.

“The revelation which God has given of Himself is a perfect system of instruction. It reveals no more than we ought to know; it keeps nothing back that would be profitable. It gives us a proper view of the nature and authority of the Lawgiver. It shows the right He has to govern us.” (Page 62)

Adam Clarke (1760-1832) was one of the most influential Methodists to follow John Wesley. Clarke served an unprecedented three terms as President of the Wesleyan Conference, and his writings were particularly influential in the development of the doctrine of sanctification in the American Holiness movement. His 6–volume whole Bible commentary which defined Methodist scholarship remains one of the most revered and used commentaries today.
