    Word & World Volume 22, Number 1 Winter 2002 Luther, Prayer, and the Reformation1 WILLIAM R. RUSSELL In Memory of Heiko A. Oberman2 I.ACONSENSUS N THE CONTEXT OF THE REFORM MOVEMENTS OF SIXTEENTH-CENTURY EUROPE, most scholars interpret Martin Luther’s interest in catechesis from the stand- point of his academic theology. In this regard, the Lutheran reform proposal began in a university setting with the call for a scholarly debate about indulgences. Ques- tions were raised and church officials and theologians got involved. Disagreements became heated and polemics raged at the highest academic and ecclesiastical levels. When these technical and scholarly issues made their way to the streets, the west- ern church was torn asunder. Parish education is thus seen as a way for Luther to translate the controversies in which he found himself embroiled into terms that il- literate lay folks could understand. In late 1528, when the reformer served as a 1This article is a revision and synthesis of papers presented at three academic meetings: “Luther and Prayer” at the Upper Midwest Regional American Academy of Religion Meeting at Luther Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota (spring 2001), “Luther’s Catechetical Strategy” at the Triennial International Meeting of the Frühe Neuzeit In- terdiziplinär at Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (spring 2001), and “The ‘Heart’ in Luther’s Theology” at the Sixteenth-Century Studies Conference, Denver, Colorado (fall 2001). 2In the spring of 2000, Professor Oberman invited me to address the topic of catechetical strategies in the Lu- theran Reformation at the then upcoming Frühe Neuzeit Interdiziplinär.

  • To Stir Them up to Believe, Love, Obey”— Soteriological Dimensions of the Class Meeting in Early Methodism
    Methodist History, 48:3 (April 2010) “TO STIR THEM UP to BELIEVE, LOVE, OBEy”— SOTERIOLOGICAL DIMENSIONS OF THE CLASS MEETING IN EARLY METHODISM1 ANDREW C. THOMPSON As leader of the Methodist movement over half a century, John Wesley viewed the practice of Christians meeting together in small groups as a vital part of their growth in holiness of heart and life. Wesley’s initial field preach- ing near Bristol in April of 1739 coincided with his assuming leadership of two religious societies in and around the city, which met together regularly for prayer and holy conversation. After further helping to organize two local bands, Wesley reflects in hisJournal , “How dare any man deny this to be (as to the substance of it) a means of grace, ordained by God?”2 He came to see the intimate interaction fostered by such groups as crucial to the very pos- sibility of sanctification, and his leadership of the Methodist movement in subsequent years was characterized by Societies sub-divided into groupings such as classes, bands, select societies, penitential bands, and trial bands. This essay examines the sub-grouping that became mandatory for all Methodists—the class meeting—and argues that it functioned as a pruden- tial means of grace in early Methodism, best characterized as a Christian practice that facilitated the sanctification of its members through the nurtur- ing process of social holiness. My account of the class meeting builds off of the prevailing interpretation of it, found in the admirable work of David Lowes Watson, while differing from that interpretation in some important respects.

These early leaders struggled, under providential direction, against the opposers both within and without the denominations who withstood the preaching, profession, and promotion of the New Testament teaching of holiness or entire sanctification. It is a story of great dedication and perseverance. Although a more extensive history of the church has been written since the first edition of this book was produced, it has still seemed necessary to have a more concise account for study purposes.
