Reading the Scripture as Wesleyans
John Wesley
boasted that he was a “man of one book,” but he was also a thoughtful
student throughout his life and an author of many books. As breath gives
life, John Wesley inhaled and exhaled the words of Scripture, shaping
his thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and behavior. And like our
eighteenth-century ancestor, the Bible is central to us for continued
faith formation. In this invitation to Scripture, the general editor of
the Wesley Study Bible and biblical scholar, Dr. Joel Green, summarizes
Wesley’s understanding of key themes and topics of key books of the New
Testament. Using brief excerpts from Wesley’s writings (in updated
language), Dr. Green explains the importance of Wesley’s thinking as it
directly applies to everyday life and faithful practice. Each chapter
ends with questions suitable for private devotion or group settings, to
help you apply your study to daily living.
