JOHN WESLEY (1703-1791) is the chief architect and source of
inspiration for the modern doctrine of Christian perfection. From
the year 1725, when Wesley was "exceedingly affected" and resolved
to "dedicate all (his) life to God," holiness became the DNA of his
spiritual temperament. For the next sixty-six years Wesley taught
and proclaimed a gospel of holy love, gra-ciously given to sinful
humanity in Jesus Christ, for the recovery of the di-vine image
lost by the first Adam. Yet the vision of perfect love did not take
shape overnight. The path Wesley journeyed in developing his
theology of holiness was often arduous, at times turbulent, became
personally painful at specific junc-tures, and was long. It took
Wesley many years to work through the particu-lars of his
theological principles and finally integrate them into a holistic
theological system. For the first time all the significant writings
from Wesley's pen on the subject of holiness are brought together
in a reader format that tells the story how he developed his
theology of Christian perfection. All periods of Wesley's ministry
are included-early, middle, and late. Selections from the entire
Wesley corpus are included: sermons, journal, letters, commentary
notes, tracts, and other writings. Introductions offer historical
context and alert the reader to major themes and motifs. Study
guides are included for personal and group study. Whether one
agrees or disagrees with John Wesley on the subject of Christian
holiness, all will be challenged to reflect more deeply on the
nature of Christian discipleship and what it means to be a fully
devoted follower of Jesus Christ. Mark K. Olson is an ordained
minister in The Church of theNazarene and resides in Antioch,
California. He has spent many years researching John Wesley's life,
ministry and writings. His other publications are John Wesley's 'A
Plain Account of Christian Perfection': The Annotated Edition and
John Wesley's Theology of Christian Perfection: Developments in
Doc-trine & Theological System.
