Description: John Wesley (1703-91) was a unique character in
history who left a disproportionately large imprint on the world.
That imprint was a contagious passion for what he called real
Christianity--the Good News of saving grace and scriptural
holiness. This book examines Wesley's life and faith in order to
better understand what it means to be a present-day participant in
that legacy. The book begins with the story of Wesley's search for
an authentic Christian experience. His steps are traced from his
early days of struggle, through his conversion at Aldersgate, to
his long years of remarkable ministry. The second part of the book
outlines the basic Wesleyan understandings of sin, grace,
redemption, new birth, sanctification, and perfection. A concluding
exploration of some practical implications of the Wesleyan doctrine
of holiness is found in the third part. This book celebrates the
Wesleyan tradition, especially that branch known as the Holiness
Movement. It is, however, not entirely uncritical. It seeks to
provide an honest and sympathetic consideration of the heritage and
faith of Wesley's lasting imprint. Endorsements: ""Dan Burnett's
new book In the Shadow of Aldersgate has captured the person of
John Wesley and the theological movement that followed him with
clarity and freshness. . . . This doctrinal overview refers to
other spiritual traditions with respect and grace but assists the
reader to understand Wesleyanism in respect to other faith
perspectives. It] is a gift to those who want to understand
historic Wesleyan doctrine."" --Dr. Don Bray General Director,
Global Partners, The Wesleyan Church ""For anyone interested in a
concise biography of John Wesley, and an excellent summary of his
doctrine of salvation, one could not go wrong in choosing In the
Shadow of Aldersgate. I certainly intend to use it as a text in my
course 'The Life and Theology of John Wesley.'"" Mark L. Weeter,
Professor, Division of Religion and Philosophy Oklahoma Wesleyan
University ""In the Shadow of Aldersgate . . . moves from John
Wesley's life to the thought and potential of the tradition that
flows from that life. . . . Besides aiding the Wesleyan tradition
in understanding its inaugural springs of authentic Christianity,
this book will be an introductory source to those in the wider
Christian community . . . . The evangelical spirit of the writer is
evident throughout, but this posture does not diminish the book's
use for an ecumenical audience."" Richard K. Eckley Professor of
Theology Houghton College About the Contributor(s): Daniel L.
Burnett has worked in various capacities of ministry and
theological education in both the USA and England. A graduate of
Nazarene Theological Seminary (M.Div., D.Min.), he now serves as
pastor of Central Wesleyan Church in Anderson, Indiana.
