John Wesley

Selkeä kuvaus kristillisestä täydellisyydestä on John Wesleyn oma selvitys opista, jota hän kutsui kristilliseksi täydellisyydeksi. Kristillinen täydellisyys osuu Wesleyn teologiassa kristityn elämän ytimeen. Vaikka Wesley puhui ja kirjoitti kristillisestä täydellisyydestä paljon, ja hänen jälkeensä metodistikirkossa on siitä kirjoitettu ja puhuttu lisää, on se kuitenkin jäänyt monelle epäselväksi. Tämä kirja ei välttämättä vastaa kaikkiin kysymyksiin, mutta se kuitenkin tuo tärkeän lisän metodistisen identiteetin ymmärtämiseen. Aikaisemmin suomeksi on julkaistu John Wesleyn aikalaisen, metodistisaarnaaja John Fletcherin Kristillisestä täydellisyydestä, mutta sitä ei enää pitkään aikaan ole ollut saatavilla. Siinä missä Fletcher käsitteli aihetta ehkä systemaattisemmin, Wesleyn lähestymiskulma on moninaisempi. Kirja sisältää keskusteluita, kokemuksia ja opetuksia kristillisestä täydellisyydestä.John Wesley (1703-1791) oli anglikaani kirkon pappi ja metodismin isähahmo. Wesleyn sydämen lämpenemisen kokemus 24.5.1738 avasi hänelle Jumalan armon aivan uudella tapaa. Metodistisen herätyksen voidaan sanoa alkaneen tuon kokemuksen jälkeen ja John Wesley johti sitä kuolemaansa saakka.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
