  • The Role of Wesley in American Methodist Theology Randy L
    Methodist History 37 (1999): 71–88 (This .pdf version reproduces pagination of printed form) Respected Founder / Neglected Guide: The Role of Wesley in American Methodist Theology Randy L. Maddox Methodists in North America struggled from nearly the beginning with the question of how they should understand their relationship to John Wesley. There was always a deep appreciation for him as the founder of the movement in which they stood. However there was also a clear hesitance to grant Wesley unquestioned authority on a span of practical and theological issues such as the legitimacy of the American Revolution, the structure for the newly independent Methodist church, and the preferred form for regular Sunday worship. One of the surprising areas where such hesitance about the role of Wesley’s precedent for American Methodist developments emerged was in theology. While Wesley clearly understood himself to be a theologian for his movement, American Methodists increasingly concluded that—whatever his other attributes—Wesley was not a theologian! The purpose of this paper is to investigate the dynamics that led to this revised estimate of Wesley’s status as a theologian and to note the implications that it has had for American Methodist theology. In particular I will consider progressive changes in assumptions about what characterized a theological position or work as “Wesleyan,” when American Methodists acquiesced to the judgment that Wesley himself was not a theologian. I As background to the North American story it is helpful to make clear the sense in which Wesley considered himself a theologian (or a “divine” as eighteenth-century Anglicans were prone to call them).

The pur- chase of the Louisiana territory in 1803 Tdoubled the area of the United States, thereby facilitat- ing the opportunity for new settlements. No state, in proportion to its size and population, played a more important role in this expansion than Connecticut. In a previous study2 there has been shown the large emigration, after 1783, from Connecticut, western Massachusetts, and Vermont (both districts originally settled by pioneers from Connecticut) into central and western New York. This emigration continued after 1800, and was typical of later emigration into the North- west Territory. The restless and discontented elements often moved first; but the next settlers were a more sub- stantial group, farmers in the "meridian of life" whose families made up the settlements. Generally, they were 'The author is indebted to Mr. Roland Mather Hooker for assistance in putting the manuscript into final form. 2 See Lois K. M.

  • Holiness of Heart and Life: Lessons from North American Methodism1
    HOLINESS OF HEART AND LIFE: LESSONS FROM NORTH AMERICAN METHODISM1 RANDY L. MADDOX Near the end of his life, john Wesley proposed that propagation of the message of entire sanctification was the chief reason why God had raised up his Methodist movement.' Whatever one makes of this claim to providential purpose, the doctrine of Christian Perfection clearly became the focus of Methodism's most vigorous early debates, both with opponents and within the movement. Nowhere were the internal debates more polarized than among North American Methodists. Partisan factions emerged in the early nineteenth century, dividing on a spectrum that ran from denial of any need for or possibility of entire sanctification to insistence that it was a state of Christian victory that could be entered instantaneously by any believer (however young in their Christian life) who simply claimed it in faith. There have been several attempts to account for this divergence among Wesley's American descendants. Some have ascribed it primarily to the impact of incompati- ble temporal variations in Wesley's views on entire sanctification that are reflected in the materials he bequeathed to his movement.' Others (who often assume more consistency to Wesley's own understanding) highlight tensions between his teach- ings on Christian Perfection and those of some of his co-workers and early follow- ers.' The question that either of these suggestions leaves is how the character and dynamics of the early Methodist experience in North America may have itself con- tributed to divergence over the issue of entire sanctification.

  • The Methodist Doctrine of Atonement in Britain and America in the Long Nineteenth Century
    Reinventing Redemption: The Methodist Doctrine of Atonement in Britain and America in the Long Nineteenth Century by W. Andrew Tooley Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Stirling Department of History and Politics 2013 0i ABSTRACT This thesis examines the controversy surrounding the doctrine of atonement among transatlantic Methodist during the Victorian and Progressive Eras. Beginning in the eighteenth century, it establishes the dominant theories of the atonement present among English and American Methodists and the cultural-philosophical worldview Methodists used to support these theories. It then explores the extent to which ordinary and influential Methodists throughout the nineteenth century carried forward traditional opinions on the doctrine before examining in closer detail the controversies surrounding the doctrine at the opening of the twentieth century. It finds that from the 1750s to the 1830s transatlantic Methodists supported a range of substitutionary views of the atonement, from the satisfaction and Christus Victor theories to a vicarious atonement with penal emphases. Beginning in the 1830s and continuing through the 1870s, transatlantic Methodists embraced features of the moral government theory, with varying degrees, while retaining an emphasis on traditional substitutionary theories. Methodists during this period were indebted to an Enlightenment worldview. Between 1880 and 1914 transatlantic Methodists gradually accepted a Romantic philosophical outlook with the result that they began altering their conceptions of the atonement. Methodists during this period tended to move in three directions. Progressive Methodists jettisoned prevailing views of the atonement preferring to embrace the moral influence theory. Mediating Methodists challenged traditionally constructed theories for similar reasons but tended to support a theory in which God was viewed as a friendlier deity while retaining substitutionary conceptions of the atonement.
