Résumé : | John Wesley remains a seminal figure, not only for "the people called Methodist, " but also within the larger Protestant tradition. Understanding his theology is a requirement for understanding the development of the Western Christian tradition in the modern period. In recent years much work has been done to grasp the intricacies of Wesley's theology. However, most of this work has been thematic in organization, studying Wesley's thought according to a topical or systematic outline. The weakness of this approach, argues Kenneth J. Collins, is that it fails to demonstrate the evolution and changes of Wesley's theology over time. Instead, a historical presentation is called for, one that examines the development of Wesley's theology across the span of his long and eventful theological career. Collins extensively examines the primary sources and demonstrates an intimate knowledge of the different contexts and social locations in which Wesley's theology took place. |
