In Radical Grace, Dr Kimbrough brings together the writings of
Charles Wesley on the theme of justice for the poor and the
marginalized, drawing upon his sermons, manuscript journal, poetry
and a few letters. The author studies the theology of these texts
(most of which were unpublished at the time of his death) and
evaluates its viability both at the time of writing and today.
Wesley's views of how Christians may 'use the grace divine' in
seeking justice for the poor have radical implications, advocating
behaviour that is often quite contrary to generally accepted
Christian practise. This volume argues that the radical grace he
espouses is consistent with Holy Scripture and should indeed be
practised by Christians today. The liturgies and musical settings
of some of the hymn texts addressing the poor and marginalized
provide a pragmatic means for the worshipping community to
integrate the principles of radical grace into their theology and
praxis.
The theological concerns of Charles Wesley are expressed primarily
through his repertory of over 9,000 hymns and sacred poems. They
include inquiries into the meaning of the Church's sacred rites,
festivals, and seasons (e.g., Holy Communion, Baptism, Advent,
Christmas, Easter, Ascension, Pentecost) and a host of other
concerns, such as conversion, sanctification, perfection, holiness,
grace, and love. This volume prepares the reader to read Wesley's
poetry, showing the plethora of literary, theological, and societal
influences on his thought and writing; and brings together a
collection of hymns and sacred poems that are representative of his
theological perspectives. The reader is given the opportunity to
become better equipped to grasp the meaning of Wesley's profound
lyrical theology and its implications for contemporary theology and
life.
