Generous Divine Love: The Grace and Power of Methodist Theology - Paperback

by Kenneth J. Collins (Author)

Discover the heart of Wesleyan theology. Explore the heart of Wesleyan theology through an engaging and accessible narrative that speaks to both heart and mind. This book shares John Wesley's teachings, where the themes of inclusion, love, and unity take center stage. The generous, even lavish, nature of John Wesley's practical theology reveals the freedom and outgoing love of the divine Being, who calls forth people to overcome the divisions and tribalism of group life. This gracious call reveals the very universality of the gospel, and has the cumulative effect of praise arising, of a doxological celebration of a God of holy love who is the fount of it all. In Generous Divine Love, you'll find it approachable yet deeply enriching, offering just the right balance of depth and clarity.
