The essays in this volume all share a common assumption: in order
to know where you're going, you have to understand where you've
been. If the spiritual and theological descendents of John Wesley
are to meet the challenges of spreading scriptural holiness in an
increasingly complex world, then they will need to grasp the core
beliefs and values that have always guided their tradition. In this
important volume, a distinguished group of interpreters of Wesleyan
tradition, all of whom are John Wesley Scholars of A Fund for
Theological Education, identify the central convictions and
practices of the Methodist movement. Their purpose in making this
identification is two-fold. First, they insist that these
convictions and practices lie at the heart of what the
Wesleyan/Methodist family is, and has been. Second, and more
important, they claim that in these distinctive beliefs lies the
future of the "people called Methodist." If renewal and growth in
witness and mission is to occur, the authors argue, it will come
through a reclamation and reinterpretation of such cental beliefs
as salvation by grace through faith, the authority of Scripture,
disciple-making within community, the vocation of Christian
holiness, and the church's mission to the world.
