Abraham argues that the Quadrilateral is not and should not be United Methodist doctrine. Abraham''s lively treatise makes a provocative appeal for a reasoned exploration of the significance of the UMC''s doctrinal identity. He reveals how churches have faced incompatible doctrinal proposals within their midst and examines the specific issues facing the United Methodist church as a whole.
