Love, says the apostle Paul, "does not rejoice over injustice, but
rejoices in the truth" (1 Corinthians 13:6). The theological
explorations undertaken here all deal in one way or another with
the liberating promise and the perplexing problem of truth in
Christian life and witness, and with the ways that Christian
theology and theological education in their various modes struggle
both to seek the truth and to foster the aptitude to honour it.
Charles M. Wood is Lehman Professor of Christian Doctrine at
Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, and
director of the university's Graduate Program in Religious Studies.
His most recent books are 'Attentive in God: Thinking Theologically
in Ministry' (co-authored with Ellen Blue) and 'The Question of
Providence'. "This engaging collection of essays by Charles Wood
offers illuminating perspectives on critical theological issues.
Wood opens up theological questions in new ways through providing
fresh angles of vision and insightful analysis. His ability to
bring clarity to sometimes complex issues makes him a joy to read.
Whether one is interested in Wesleyan Studies, the contemporary
theological task, or the future shape of theological education,
this book will be a most welcome and valued resource." - Henry H.
Knight III, Donald and Pearl Wright Professor of Wesleyan Studies,
Saint Paul School of Theology, Kansas City, Missouri "Making
Wesleyan theology a kind of test case, Charles Wood gracefully
shows us the delights and pitfalls of Christian doctrine. Though he
gently reminds us of the manifold ways theology can go wrong, he
majors in the joy of doing theology devoted to the truth and in
service of love. Few theologians are so attuned, as is Wood, to
theology's responsibility in a perilous world and yet so ruled by
the gospel's power to make its own way despite our theological
pretensions. Accompanying Wood in these essays is as rewarding
spiritually as it is intellectually. That's the mark of good
Wesleyan theology, indeed, of any theology." - M. Douglas Meek, Cal
Turner Chancellor Professor of Theology and Wesleyan Studies,
Vanderbilt University Divinity School
