"This is a welcome and thorough study of Wesley's 'religion of the heart'..."
— PROCEEDINGS OF THE WESLEY HISTORICAL SOCIETY
DESCRIPTION
This resource displays the variety of ways in which the Wesleys' concept of "the religion of the heart" (that is, the affective dimension of Christian faith) has been understood and embodied in the Methodist tradition. The author then offers some practical suggestions on how a livelier piety, a more deeply felt faith, can be fostered in local congregations, without leading into anti-intellectualism, fanatical emotionalism or maudlin sentimentality. This part approaches theology, worship, preaching, pastoral care, and educational ministry.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Richard B. Steele is an ordained United Methodist minister, who presently serves as Professor of Moral and Historical Theology and Chair of the Department of Theology in the Seattle Pacific University School of Theology, Seattle, WA.
