Wesleyan Church History and Polity

Catalog description

A special study of the doctrines that give distinction to the teachings of John Wesley as they differ from those of other theological traditions. The study includes research into such doctrines as Christian perfection, sin and grace, entire sanctification, justification and regeneration, humanity and holiness, the work of the Holy Spirit, security of the believer, and others. The theological ideas of Reformed and Catholic writers on these doctrines will be explored. The Biblical passages that create the theological differences will be examined. (Doctrinal/Historical)
