Thomas H McCall: Love Divine, Gebunden

Klappentext

A book that brings Wesleyan systematic theology to life for a new generation of readers

As the most up-to-date statement of Wesleyan systematic theology available today, Love Divine serves both as an authoritative reference and an accessible introduction for newcomers to the field. This comprehensive text introduces readers to the full range of Christian doctrines, beginning with the doctrine of God and including the doctrines of creation, human nature and sin, the person and work of Christ, the person and work of the Holy Spirit, salvation, church and sacraments, and last things. The volume also provides an overview of major theological developments in church history. Engaging each topic from a Wesleyan point of view, the book is firmly grounded in Holy Scripture, committed to classical creeds and confessions, and conversant with contemporary theologians from Catholic, Orthodox, and other Protestant traditions. One of the book's most distinctive features is that the authors offer thoughtful responses to common objections to classical Christian orthodoxy and specific Wesleyan beliefs.

From start to finish, Love Divinemakes vital connections between theology, ministry, and a Christian life of praise and service. In so doing, it serves as an essential resource for students preparing for ministry in Wesleyan, Methodist, Anglican, holiness, and Pentecostal traditions. This landmark volume will also be of interest to anyone seeking to understand Wesleyan theology's distinctive contributions to the broader Christian tradition.
