Description
This course will examine the central theological doctrines of Methodist Christianity as expressed in the writings of John Wesley, the hymns of Charles Wesley, and in the doctrinal standards and general rules of Methodist churches. It equips students to appreciate the distinctive doctrinal emphases of the Wesleyan movement and to articulate clearly what Methodists believe about matters such as the authority of scripture; the place of tradition, reason, and experience in theological reflection; the way of salvation; the sacraments; and theological ethics. For United Methodist students this course meets the requirement of the Discipline for a course on United Methodist Doctrine.
