Description / Abstract
The objective of this paper then will be to assess Wesley’s theology. Granted that he was such a towering figure as an evangelist, apostle, pastor, ‘bishop’, and writer, what is his status as a theologian? What were the major influences on him? What was the overall shape and character of his theology? What were the Methodist doctrines which he shaped? Was he coherent in this thinking? And was there any area of his thought where we may claim a degree of creativity?
I approach this paper not as expert on Wesley (a whole academic discipline has grown up in colleges and universities in the Wesleyan tradition), but as a theologian, educated moreover in Edinburgh, in a college and divinity faculty which stands historically not in the Wesleyan but in the Reformed tradition. What I wish to attempt therefore is an introduction to Wesley as a theologian for those who may approach him from the perspective of the Reformed tradition.
