A John Wesley's Teachings Volume 3

<p><em>John Wesley's Teachings </em>is the first systematic exposition of John Wesley's theology that is also faithful to Wesley's own writings. Wesley was a prolific writer and commentator on Scripture--his collected works fill eighteen volumes--and yet it is commonly held that he was not systematic or consistent in his theology and teachings.</p><p> </p><p>On the contrary Thomas C. Oden demonstrates that Wesley displayed a remarkable degree of internal consistency over sixty years of preaching and ministry. This series of 4 volumes is a text-by-text guide to John Wesley's teaching. It introduces Wesley's thought on the basic tenets of Christian teaching: God providence and man (volume 1) Christ and salvation (volume 2) the practice of pastoral care (volume 3) and issues of ethics and society (volume 4).</p><p> </p><p>In everyday modern English Oden clarifies Wesley's explicit intent and communicates his meaning clearly to a contemporary audience. Both lay and professional readers will find this series useful for devotional reading moral reflection sermon preparation and for referencing Wesley's opinions on a broad range of pressing issues of contemporary society.</p>
