John Wesley's Conception and Use of Scripture (Paperback)

Despite wide acceptance of the "Wesleyan quadrilateral",
significant disagreements have arisen in both academic and church
circles about the degree to which Scripture stood in a place of
theological primacy for Wesley, or should do so for modern
Methodists, and about the proper and appropriate methods of
interpreting Scripture. In this important work, Scott J. Jones
offers a full-scale investigation of John Wesley's conception and
use of Scripture. The results of this careful and thorough
investigation are sometimes surprising. Jones argues that for
Wesley, religious authority is constituted not by a
"quadrilateral", but by a fivefold but unitary locus comprising
Scripture, reason, Christian antiquity, the Church of England, and
experience. He shows that in actual practice Wesley's reliance on
the entire Christian tradition - in particular of the early church
and of the Church of England - is far heavier than his stated
conception of Scripture would seem to allow, and that Wesley
stresses the interdependence of the five dimensions of religious
authority for Christian faith and practice.
