More than two hundred years ago, John Wesley declared: "There is no
holiness save social holiness!" He meant thereby to reject an
exclusively individualistic version of Christianity, and to affirm
his intention to "spread scriptural holiness across the land, and
reform the nation." In Wesley's view, the spheres of influence
denoted in the biblical terms "sin" and "salvation" thus have
communal dimensions which both engage and encompass every
individual life. This collection of affirmations of faith, based on
sermons delivered from a United Methodist pulpit, stands under the
long shadow of Wesley's view. Sin is a corporate and cultural
manifestation of separation from God. Salvation occurs through the
invasion of God's grace, remaking common life. Preaching describes
the separation and announces the invasion.
