The Works of John Wesley Volume 12: Doctrinal and Controversial Treatises I

The first of three theological volumes, this volume is devoted toÂ four of John Wesley's foundational treatises on soteriology.

These treatises include, first,Â Wesleyâ€™s extract from the Homilies of the Church of England, which he published to convince his fellow Anglican clergy that the â€˜evangelicalâ€™ emphasis on believers experiencing a conscious assurance of Godâ€™s pardoning love was consistent with this standard of Anglican doctrine. Next comes Wesleyâ€™s extract of Richard Baxterâ€™s Aphorisms of Justification, aimed more at those who shared his evangelical emphasis, invoking this honored moderate Puritan to challenge antinomian conceptions of the doctrine of justification by faith. This is followed by Wesleyâ€™s abridgement of the Shorter Catechism issued by the Westminster Assembly in his Christian Library, where he affirms broad areas of agreement with this standard of Reformed doctrineâ€•while quietly removing items with which he disagreed. The fourth item is Wesleyâ€™s extended response to the Dissenter John Taylor on the doctrine of original sin, which highlights differences within the broad â€˜Arminianâ€™ camp, with Wesley resisting a drift toward naively optimistic views of human nature that he discerned in Taylor.Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
