Description
This course is a study of the most important of John Wesley’s Standard Sermons. Students will learn about John Wesley’s style of preaching and exegesis, identify the core theological emphases present in his sermons, and explore ways in which these sermons are still relevant to the modern Church. These sermons, which are protected by the Constitution of the United Methodist Church as a doctrinal standard, contain the heart of Wesleyan theology. While this class does not fulfill the requirement of the Discipline for a course on United Methodist Doctrine, it is an excellent elective option for students seeking ordination in that denomination.
