Doctrinal Standards in the Wesleyan Tradition, Revised Edition, narrates the history of the formation of Wesleyan doctrines, describing how they were transplanted from the British Isles to North American, how they became constitutionally protected in Wesleyan-rooted churches. The first edition of this book affected the outcome of the 1988 General Conference of The United Methodist Church as the delegates decided many then-disputed doctrinal issues. This revised edition addresses the continuing hunger for more precise and useful information on the doctrinal traditions of mainline Protestantism. Hence the arguments have been updated with more than 400 changes. Included are doctrinal statements for the Evangelical United Bethren, Free Methodist, Methodist Protestant, Wesleyan, Nazarene, African Methodist Episcopal Zion, Christian Methodist Episcopal, and African Methodist Episcopal Churches; as well as an outline syllabus of a Course on the Articles of Religion.

Download or read book Wesleyan Theology written by Thomas A. Langford and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The history of Wesleyan theology is a rich but unmined field. This book of primary sources presents crucial themes and influential theologians of the developing Wesleyan movement from John and Charles Wesley in the eighteenth century to Carl Michalson and Albert Outler in the mid-twentieth. Themes such as justification by faith, sanctification, the role of Jesus Christ, the work of the Holy Spirit, human nature, the interpretation of the Bible, the authority of the Church and the means of grace are represented through the writings of major theologians. Each selection is long enough to convey both the flavor and the substance of the theological argument. Taken together these selections demonstrate the lively and continuing importance of the Wesleyan theological tradition, not only for people who are called Methodists, but also for the wider ecumenical Church" -- BACK COVER.

Download or read book United Methodist Doctrine written by Scott J. Jones and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Throughout this ebook, Scott J. Jones insists that for United Methodists the ultimate goal of doctrine is holiness. Importantly, he clarifies the nature and the specific claims of ""official"" United Methodist doctrine in a way that moves beyond the current tendency to assume the only alternatives are a rigid dogmatism or an unfettered theological pluralism. In classic Wesleyan form, Jones' driving concern is with recovering the vital role of forming believers in the ""mind of Christ, "" so that they might live more faithfully in their many settings in our world."

Download or read book Doctrine, Spirit, and Discipline written by Kevin M. Watson and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2024-06-25 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive history of the Wesleyan movement in the United States. An expansive, substantive history of the Wesleyan tradition in the United States, Doctrine, Spirit, and Discipline offers a broad survey of the Methodist movement as it developed and spread throughout America, from the colonial era to the present day. It also provides an theological appraisal of these developments in light of John Wesley's foundational vision. Beginning with Wesley himself, Watson describes the distinctiveness of the tradition at the outset. Then, as history unfolds, he identifies the common set of beliefs and practices which have unified a diverse group of people across the centuries, providing them a common identity through a number of divisions and mergers. In the midst of the sweeping changes happening in Methodism and the pan-Wesleyan movement today, Watson shows that the heart of the Wesleyan theological tradition is both more expansive and substantive than any singular denominational identity. "A fresh, panoramic overview of the history of the Methodist movement. . . Promises to be a standard textbook on the history of Methodism for years to come." —TIMOTHY C. TENNENT, Asbury Theological Seminary

It introduces Wesley’s thought on the basic tenets of Christian teaching: God and providence (volume 1), Christ and salvation (volume 2), the practice of pastoral care (volume 3), and issues of ethics and society (volume 4).
