- Summary
- "A rich articulation of JOhn Wesley's theology that is appreciative of the old and mindful of the new, faithful to the past and attentive to the present. This is a work that ably mines the elements that constitute John Wesley's Practical Divinity. Critically challenging the leading paradigms that have governed the interpretation of Wesley in the last century, Collins seeks a new balance in the axial theme of holiness and grace. This book joins the ranks of the standard works on Wesley's theology and will find an appreciative readership in the church and academy." -- Back cover.
