Salvaging Wesley's Agenda

Kevin Twain Lowery believes that two of John Wesley's most distinctive doctrines--his doctrines of assurance and Christian perfection--have not been sufficiently developed. Rather, these doctrines have either been distorted or neglected. Lowery suggests that since Wesleyan ethics is centered on these two doctrines, they need to be recast in a schema that emphasizes the cognitive aspects of religious knowledge and moral development. Salvaging Wesley's Agenda constructs such a new framework in three stages. First, Lowery explores Wesley's reliance upon Lockean empiricism. He contends that Wesleyan epistemology should remain more closely tied to empirical knowledge and should distance itself fr...

Wesley's Birthday Wish

Wesley's Birthday Wish presented as a wonderful narrative, with color-filled pictures throughout. Wesley is incredibly excited about waking up the morning he finally turns seven years old. A magic door would open for him at last! He had wondered what was on the other side of that door ever since it first appeared when he turned four. What adventures await?

This tale illustrates most eloquently why force is never the solution, even when you really desire something.

No Shame in Wesley’s Gospel

As an African American who was a senior pastor in both white and black churches between 1966 and 1974, Edward Wimberly encountered shame as the feeling of being unloved and being unlovable primarily when his parishioners and counselees experienced a loss of a loved one. Grief was the dominant psychological category for talking about loss in those days, and the feeling of shame of being abandoned and resulting in feelings of being unloved were described as temporary. However, in the middle 1980s pastoral theologians began to recognize shame as a dominant psychological and spiritual long lasting experience that needed to be addressed. Thus, pastoral counselors and pastoral theologians began to...

At this Time and in this Place

This volume champions vocation and calling as key elements of undergraduate education. It offers a historical and theoretical account of vocational reflection and discernment, as well as suggesting how these endeavours can be implemented through specific educational practices. Against the backdrop of the current national conversation about the purposes of higher education, it argues that the undergraduate years can provide a certain amount of relatively unfettered time, and a 'free and ordered space', in which students can consider their callings.

Big Things Start Small

History indicates that small group gatherings have been powerfully influential in igniting Christianity's most famous spiritual awakenings. In this groundbreaking study, Joe M. Easterling explores Christianity's four most significant awakenings and how small groups have influenced the rise and sustainability of each. As readers encounter the incredible accounts of how God transformed individuals, communities, and even nations through the movement of his Spirit, they will discover that small groups have been there all along as one of revival's most indispensable contributors. More importantly, readers will learn some common characteristics of the small groups during these awakenings and how they may be used in small groups of churches today in hopes that a spiritual awakening may ignite once again.

Beginning Well

Gordon T. Smith contends that a chief cause of spiritual immaturity in the evangelical church is an inadequate theology of conversion. Surveying Scripture, spiritual autobiographies and a broad range of theologies of conversion, he seeks to foster in the Christian community a dynamic language of conversion that leads to spiritual transformation and mature Christian living.
