Rethinking Wesley's Theology for Contemporary Methodism

by Randy L. Maddox (Editor)

One of the most surprising developments in contemporary Methodist theology is the degree to which leading Methodist and Wesleyan systematic theologians are reengaging John Wesley, finding his works instructive, provocative, and stimulating for their own theological reflection. Such a broad and purposeful dialogue with Wesley by theologians of the Wesleyan heritage is unprecedented in this century, and much rarer in the previous century than is popularly believed. This volume presents a set of original essays that represent and embody this new engagement allowing the reader to see how several prominent theologians are self-consciously reexamining and reappropriating their theological tradition.

[J. Ewbank · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a good book and it is an interesting book, at least for Mehodists and other religious folks who are interested in ecumenical theology. It is a little difficult for the average layperson.
