About this title

From the Back Cover:

After two hundred years of influence, Wesley's teaching continues to be a source of inspiration and guidance to Christians of many denominations. Dr. Steve Harper has provided a fresh, new introduction to John Wesley's teaching. Churches in the Wesleyan tradition (as well as others) have developed a new interest in getting back to these spiritual roots of their faith and practice, and this book provides a basis for understanding Wesley. More than a mere literal reproduction of eighteenth-century Wesleyan theology, this book offers a dynamic and practical introduction to Methodism. It reminds us of the Wesley we have forgotten and shows how Wesley promoted scriptural Christianity. It should be obvious from the following chapter titles that the themes of Wesleyan theology are presented in clear, contemporary language just as Wesley would have done if he were writing today--plain words for plain people - Meet John Wesley - The Root of the Problem (Original Sin) - Power to Begin (Prevenient Grace) - The Turning Point (Converting Grace) - Transformation (Effects of Salvation) - Don't Stop Now (Growth in Grace) - The Heart of It All (Christian Perfection) - The End of the Journey (Glorification) - All Together Now (The Church) - Renewal, The Wesley Way - A Basic Bibliography for Wesley Studies
