This new collection of essays explores the subject of conversion in
the Wesleyan tradition from biblical, historical, theological, and
practical points of view. Written by leading Wesleyan scholars, the
essays reinvoke the notion of conversion as an identifiable
experience in the Christian's life. The contributors, drawn from a
diversity of backgrounds, rightly call for a much needed, and
inclusive, balance: process and instantaneousness, nurture and
regeneration, holy living and vibrant faith. The recovery of
conversion as an illuminating paradigm of saving grace promises
both renewal and revitalization in the Wesleyan tradition.
A Real Christian: The Life of John Wesley fills a void in available
books in Wesleyan studies by providing a brief, solid biography
that focuses on Wesley himself. While exploring Wesley's ancestry,
birth, death, and every major biographical and theological event
between, Collins also explores the theme of John Wesley's spiritual
growth and maturation.
Wesley came to the conclusion that real Christians are those
whose inward (and outward) lives have been transformed by the
bountiful sanctifying grace of God -- what he termed real
Christianity, and this he strove to obtain for himself. Real
Christianity, as Wesley understood it, embraces both works of piety
and mercy, the person and the social.
Taking its title from one of John Wesley's most important sermons,
The Scripture Way of Salvation explores the soteriological content
of Wesley's entire literary corpus (sermons, letters, theological
treatises, journals, and the notes on the Old and New Testaments).
Fundamentally a doctrinal study, it is historically sensitive to
the subtle shifts and nuances of Wesley's continuing reflections
about the processes of salvation and the nature of Christian life.
Collins provides a clear discussion of Wesley's emerging views
about the development and maturation of Christian life, and in so
doing highlights the essential structure that undergirds and
provides the framework for Wesley's way of thinking about the
processes of salvation.
