Description
The Wesleyan Quadrilateral: A Model for Evangelical Theology This book explores the theological method implicit in John Wesley's theology, focusing on the four normative sources that shape his approach: Scripture, tradition, reason, and experience. The author argues that Wesley's understanding of Scripture as the primary source of theology is not limited to a sole reliance on it, but rather seeks balance with other sources. The book proposes that Wesley's method offers a unique framework for catholic evangelicalism and ecumenism, one that remains faithful to the Scriptures while engaging with the wisdom of the Early Church Fathers, responsible reason, and Christian experience illuminated by the Holy Spirit.
