Saving Women is a much-needed study of women's contributions to the
theology of evangelism. Through a careful consideration of the
primary sources of six Protestant women ministering in America from
1800-1950, this historical and theological study demonstrates that
these women combined verbal proclamation with other historic
Christian practices in their roles as preacher, visitor,
missionary, educator, activist, and reformer.

Theology shapes who we are and how we organize to transform the
world. Especially written for required United Methodist classes,
this accessible book uses a Wesleyan theological
frame--connection--to help readers understand United Methodism's
polity and organization as the interrelationship of our beliefs,
mission, and practice. The book is organized into four
parts--United Methodist beliefs, mission, practice, and
organization. Polity and organization are primary embodiments of
The United Methodist Church. Functional in nature, these aspects of
the denomination facilitate our mission to make disciples for the
transformation of the world. This book connects denominational
governance and organization to our beliefs as well as our mission.
A clear understanding of our identity--as Methodists with Wesleyan
roots in connection--and our purpose--to make disciples for the
transformation of the world--can help students of United Methodism
navigate this treacherous landscape as present and future leaders.
Warner also addresses the estrangement between theology and
institutional structures and practice by framing governance
practices and organizational structure within a Wesleyan theology
of connection. This approach will assist current and future
denominational leaders in understanding their practices of
administration and participation in polity as a theological
endeavor and key component of their ministries.
The Study of Evangelism collects thirty groundbreaking essays on
the practice of evangelism into a single volume in order to enhance
serious theological and contextual engagement with this aspect of
the church??'s mission in the world. The book lays a solid,
scholarly foundation for future discourse, speaking to all who
practice and study evangelism from many different Christian
perspectives. By offering these thoughtful essays, Paul W. Chilcote
and Laceye C. Warner aim to encourage reflective and open dialogue
about the practice of evangelism within the community of faith.
