Excellent Information on the Wesleyan Quadrilateral

This book is a necessity for all new preachers in the United Methodist Church and in the Global Methodist Church. It is useful when witnessing to other in a variety of cultural environments.

[Jamie Pennington · Rating 3 out of 5]

A bit of a dry read at times yet I picked up the book so that I could understand the Quadrilateral better and I can honestly say that I do indeed understand it better. So it accomplished its mission. It probably could of done so in a few less pages than this but none the less I did gain insight and appreciation. I particularly liked the comparisons to Locke and Aquinas. Overall I would recomend the book for Wesleyan scholars and those interested in Holiness theology.
