John Wesley's Social Ethics

Description

This volume, first published in German in 1976, still stands as the most definitive, comprehensive treatment of John Wesley's social ethics.

John Wesley's Social Ethics offers a balanced treatment that dispels notions that Wesley can easily be categorized as only an evangelist or only a social reformer. It demonstrates that Wesley's theological and spiritual concerns were catalytic in his social program. It encourages a rethinking of the importance of theology for social ethics in the Methodist tradition.
