Commissioned by the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry for use in United Methodist doctrine/polity/history courses.

Runyon sets Wesley's own discussion of the "way of salvation" in the larger context of Christian doctrine, beginning with the Creation (and the Fall) and moving through the drama of salvation towards its eschatological fulfillment in the "new creation" of all things.

"This is for me the Wesley book at the end of the century, with new perspectives for the next millennium. Reliable in historical research, brilliantly written, it offers the social witness of John Wesley for today's crises. Professor Runyon gives a coherent picture of Wesley's theology for the Christian oecumene and far beyond. I am very grateful for this book."--Jürgen Moltmann

The New Creation has been translated into 5 languages: Korean, Portuguese, Russian, German, and Spanish.

Will Romney, Perry race be Christian vs. Christian?
Will Romney, Perry race be Christian vs. Christian?

Lest anyone think I am unduly thin-skinned, it's the insult implicit in the word 'cult' that I am objecting to, not the reasonable point that some Christians are indeed uncomfortable with aspects of Latter-day Saint theology. Of course they are.

Fairfield theologian calls for more humility in the church

10.06.11

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Theologian Paul Lakeland, addressing several hundred Catholic theologians here today, called for a good dose of additional humility as our church looks out at the world.

His talk came on the second day of the 66th annual gathering of the Catholic Theological Society of America, the largest body of Catholic theologians in North America.

Lakeland is professor of Catholic Studies and chair of the Center for Catholic Studies at Fairfield University in Fairfield, Connecticut.

In a talk titled, “I want to be in that number: Desire, Inclusivity and the Church,” Lakeland used both contemporary literature and gospel imagery, primarily the parable of the Good Samaritan, to build his humility case.
