The Scripture Way of Salvation

Taking its title from one of John Wesley''s most important sermons The Scripture Way of Salvation explores the soteriological content of Wesley''s entire literary corpus (sermons letters theological treatises journals and the notes on the Old and New Testaments). Fundamentally a doctrinal study it is historically sensitive to the subtle shifts and nuances of Wesley''s continuing reflections about the processes of salvation and the nature of Christian life. Collins provides a clear discussion of Wesley''s emerging views about the development and maturation of Christian life and in so doing highlights the essential structure that undergirds and provides the framework for Wesley''s way of thinking about the processes of salvation.
