With this first direct translation of Arminius' Declaration of
Sentiments into English from the original Dutch, Stephen Gunter
weaves expert translation with valuable notes and theological
commentary. Gunter's introduction situates this overlooked but
critically important work within its rich historical context and
includes a clear, illuminating discussion of the debate over
predestination. What emerges is an enlightening portrait of
Arminius that challenges modern misconceptions about one of the
most significant sixteenth-century theologians.
A comprehensive guide to the theology and practice of evangelism
within the Wesleyan tradition.
No one would deny that evangelism stands at the heart of the
Wesleyan/Methodist movement. Yet ask any number of representatives
of that movement what evangelism means, and you will get an equal
number of definitions. Is it bringing the lost to saving faith in
Christ? Working to conform the social order to the Kingdom of God?
Deepening the commitment of disciples to the work the Gospel?
This important new volume answers that evangelism is all these, and
more. Drawing on the work of prominent theologians and church
leaders, it examines both the theory and the practice of evangelism
among the people called Methodist, charting a course for a
faithfully Wesleyan fulfillment of the Great Commission.
According to The Book of Discipline, Wesley believed that the
"living core of the Christian faith" is revealed in Scripture,
illumined by tradition, "vivified" by personal experience, and
confirmed by reason. The thesis of Wesley and the Quadrilateral is
that the Church needs serious conversation about reappropriating
the Quadrilateral in a manner that is consistent with historical
Methodist identity (beginning with Wesley), a conversation that
takes the church's past identity with the utmost seriousness while
recognizing present and future cultural trends.
This volume, first published in German in 1976, still stands as
the most definitive, comprehensive treatment of John Wesley's
social ethics.
John Wesley's Social Ethics offers a balanced treatment that
dispels notions that Wesley can easily be categorized as only an
evangelist or only a social reformer. It demonstrates that Wesley's
theological and spiritual concerns were catalytic in his social
program. It encourages a rethinking of the importance of theology
for social ethics in the Methodist tradition.
