  • JOHN WESLEY: CHRISTIAN REVOLUTIONARY by Mildred Bangs Wynkoop
    JOHN WESLEY: CHRISTIAN REVOLUTIONARY By Mildred Bangs Wynkoop Beacon Hill Press Of Kansas City Kansas City, Missouri First Printing, 1970 Printed in the United States of America Quotations from The New English Bible, Copyright, the delegates of the Oxford University Press And the Syndics of the Cambridge of the Cambridge University Press, 1961 _________________ PREFACE Revolution was the mood of the sixties and promises to become the mode of the seventies. The average churchman draws back from it, deplores and abhors it, longs for the day when "law and order" may prevail again. "Down with revolution!" he pleads and prays-perhaps in vain. It may seem strange, then, to relate John Wesley to revolution, but that is precisely what it is necessary to do if we are to talk about Wesleyan theology. And this is what we are attempting to do. We will not engage in the fascinating, formal, intricate, and abstract aspects of theology in this little book. Rather it is the fountain out of which flows the need for theology, namely, life, which we wish to explore. Christian doctrines, at least the central ones, were life experiences before they became statements of faith. They were life involvements and profound commitments before they were neat propositions packed into theology books. It is possible to enter theology through the gates of life, but life cannot be recaptured by mere theology. It is the life, the personal participation in grace, the spiritual dynamic of the Christian's interrelatedness with God, that captures our attention. Only in this dimension of the total theological enterprise known as Wesleyan theology can we find the key to its significance.

  • A Summary of “A Century of Holiness Theology” by Rev
    A Summary of “A Century of Holiness Theology” by Rev. Mark R. Quanstrom, Ph.D. A. Brief Review of “A Century of Holiness Theology” Timothy L. Smith concluded his history of the first twenty-five years of the Church of the Nazarene, entitled Called Unto Holiness, with a telling comment. He wrote: The reader, therefore, must evaluate for himself the significance of the men and events which compose the history of the Nazarenes. We shall be content if in telling the story we have provided new and important information upon which thoughtful persons may ponder the meaning of American Christianity, the part played by the small denominational families... and the relevance of Wesleyan perfectionism to a generation awed by its rediscovery of the deep sinfulness of man.1 “A Century of Holiness Theology” (Beacon Hill Press: Kansas City, 2004) can be rightly understood as a footnote to Timothy Smith’s suggestive concluding statement. The way in which the doctrine of entire sanctification has been interpreted and understood in all its variations throughout the century can be interpreted as part of a continuous effort to make “Wesleyan perfectionism” relevant to each successive generation. In particular, the variations in understanding can be understood to have been responses to the apparent and continuing intractability of sin. Thus, and in brief, the book charts the changes in the understanding of the doctrine of entire sanctification in the Church of the Nazarene in the twentieth century; from one of extravagant hope to one of limited expectation. At the very beginning of the 20th century, the Church of the Nazarene understood its reason for being the proclamation of the possibility of life without sin as a consequence of a second work of grace.

  • Why These Schools?
    Why These Schools? � � � 21 captures f � 01 Nov 2002 - 08 Mar 2016 � About this capture Papers by Author Papers by Date Email Why These Schools? Stan Ingersol Historical Perspectives on Nazarene Higher Education Each religious movement breeds its own folklores, and a folklore whose truth is often assumed is that Nazarene colleges were founded to train ministers. This folklore has some merit, for certain Nazarene colleges did originate from a desire to train Christian workers—though not ministers exclusively. But in other cases the folklore is not true at all. Some Nazarene colleges began with the intention to establish a liberal arts college, while others emerged from schools founded originally to educate grammar and high school age youth. In the case of the latter, the focus was on educating a Christian laity and forming the identity of Nazarene youth in a way that integrated basic educational achievement with moral and spiritual training rooted in certain theological understandings. Thus, any generalizations about the purpose of early Nazarene colleges must be broad enough to take into account different intentions—training Christian workers and educating a Christian laity. Training Schools for Christian Workers The origins of present–day Point Loma Nazarene College offers a place to begin. It is commonly asserted that Phineas Bresee was the college's founder, and in a larger sense that is true. But if being a founder means being the initiator, then Bresee is not its founder. On this point, there is agreement between Timothy L. Smith (the late dean of Nazarene church history), Carl Bangs (author of the first critical biography of Bresee), and Ron Kirkemo (author of the first critical history of the college).

  • A Trinitarian Revisioning of the Wesleyan Doctrine of Christian Perfection
    Aldersgate Papers, Vol.2 September 2001 A TRINITARIAN REVISIONING OF THE WESLEYAN DOCTRINE OF CHRISTIAN PERFECTION by Glen O'Brien I bind unto myself the name, The strong name of the Trinity By invocation of the same, The Three in One and One in Three - St. Patrick's Breastplate The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit alike give sanctification, and life, and light, and comfort, and all similar graces. And let no one attribute the power of sanctification in an especial sense to the Spirit [alone]... - St. Gregory of Nyssa, On the Holy Trinity Come, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, One God in Persons Three! Bring back the heavenly blessing, lost By all mankind, and me. - Charles Wesley, Hymns on the Trinity Aldersgate Papers, Vol. 2 Introduction It is the purpose of this paper to suggest a revision of the Wesleyan doctrine of sanctification along trinitarian lines. Recent Wesleyan thought has tended to polarize toward one or other of two positions - placing a stress either on the Christological or on the Pneumatological aspects of sanctifying grace. In part this has been a historical question. Attempts have been made to establish the position of John Wesley in regard to the use of "pentecostal" and "pneumatological" language in reference to entire sanctification.1 But it has also involved the very real task of keeping the doctrine alive among the Wesleyan people, saving it from the fate of becoming a mere historical curiosity. An attempt may be made to demonstrate the basic compatibility of these competing historical views when applied to the task of constructive theology, though this is not the task I wish to attempt here.

(Prof. of Theology and Missions, Nazarene Theological Seminary) I. INTRODUCTION For the past ten or fifteen years a revival of careful scholarship and courageous theological inquiry has been observable in holiness circles. One explanation, perhaps, has been the great increase in the number of trained holiness scholars, both in educational centers and in administrative positions. The resurrection and revitalization of the National Holiness Association conventions, with their emphasis on study seminars in the conventions, has had much to do with these overall healthy trends. Especially to be commended is Dr. Kenneth Geiger who, while president of the NHA, sponsored high level seminars in strategic locations, the cream of which he edited in three significant volumes, Insights Into Holiness, Further Insights into Holiness, and The Word and the Doctrine. A subsequent fourth volume has been published, Protecting Our Heritage, compiled jointly by Myron F.
