Following the theology of mission developed by John Wesley,
thousands of men and women have engaged in domestic and
international missions. But why did they go? Why do they continue
to go today? In The Use of the Old Testament in a Wesleyan Theology
of Mission, Gordon Snider examines the Wesleyan understanding of
mission in the light of the Old Testament. What theology from God's
Old Covenant gave Wesleyans their drive to impact nations, and how
did it shape their missionary strategies? Drawing upon a range of
primary sources, he examines how a number of influential speakers
in the Wesleyan tradition, particularly the founders and
spokespeople of the nineteenth and the early twentieth century,
have used the Old Testament to inform their theology of mission.
Snider provides an insight into the works of the important
theologians Thomas Coke, Jabez Bunting, Adam Clarke, Richard
Watson, Daniel Whedon and Edmund Cook. Focusing on the movement of
Wesleyan Theology from Great Britain to North America, Snider
analyses how this affected Wesleyan ideas of holiness, eschatology
and divine healing. Readers of this volume will discover why
Wesleyan Christians go into the world and gain a deeper
understanding of missions.
