The Scripture Way of Salvation: Heart of Wesley's Theology

Taking its title from one of John Wesleys most important sermons The Scripture Way of Salvation explores the soteriological content of Wesleys 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 Wesleys continuing reflections about the processes of salvation and the nature of Christian life. Collins provides a clear discussion of Wesleys 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 Wesleys way of thinking about the processes of salvation.
