Methodist Theology Today
Presents the Methodist theology as a resource for the future. This book focuses on the many ways in which Methodism 'carries' its theology and how Methodism's emphasis contributes to British Christianity. It asks challenging questions about how evangelism and social welfare may develop in the complex post-modern secular world.

The Eternal Vision
For many years, the author has used his enormous collection of quotations (this anthology is only the tip of the iceberg!) with students in "Reflection Groups". Each week, 20 or 30 such groups meet at the University College chaplaincy for contemplation and discussion of a chosen theme. Beginning with quotations from the Bible, other sources are called upon to recollect the knowledge and wisdom of the past as well as present day insights. The aim is to enrich hearts and minds after the manner of Philippians 4:8, "Whatever is true...honourable...just...pure...lovely...gracious, think on these things".
T&T Clark Companion to Methodism
The first volume in the T&T Clark Companions series, this volume is a handbook on Methodism containing an introduction, dictionary of key terms, and concentrates on key themes, methodology and research problems for those interested in studying the origins and development of the history and theology of world Methodism. The literature describing the history and development of Methodism has been growing as scholars and general readers have become aware of its importance as a world church with approximately 40 million members in 300 Methodist denominations in 140 nations. The tercentenary celebrations of the births of its founders, John and Charles Wesley, in 2003 and 2007 provided an additional focus on the evolution of the movement which became a church. This book researches questions, problems, and resources for further study.
Family Crucible
This book explores the life and ministry of John Wesley from the perspective of Murray Bowen's Extended Family Systems Theory and to a lesser extent from Alfred Adler's concept of family constellation. Throughout the book, the author uses concepts drawn from these theories to explore significant historical and pivotal events in the life of John Wesley. Beginning with family events prior to his birth, the author also explores his early family constellation, influential themes, factors shaping his ministry, and various relational issues, including his relationships with Sophy Hopkey, Grace Murray, and his marriage to Mary Vazeille. It concludes by drawing lessons from Wesley's life pertinent to today's ministers.
T&T Clark Companion to Nonconformity
Protestant Nonconformity, the umbrella term for Congregationalists, Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists and Unitarians, belongs specifically to the religious history of England and Wales. Initially the result of both unwillingness to submit to the State's interference in Christian life and a dissatisfaction with the progress of reform in the English Church, Nonconformity has been primarily motivated by theological concern, ecclesial polity, devotion and the nurture of godliness among the members of the church. Alongside such churchly interests, Nonconformity has also made a profound contribution to debates about the role of the State, to family life and education, culture in general, trade and industry, the development of philanthropy and charity, and the development of pacifism. In this volume, for the first time, Nonconformity and the breadth of its activity come under the expert scrutiny of a host of recognised scholars. The result is a detailed and fascinating account of a movement in church history that, while currently in decline, has made an indelible mark on social, political, economic and religious life of the two nations.
