Timothy Tennent on Being a Methodist Evangelical

Recently, a brilliant scholar whom I respect deeply, Timothy C. Tennent, the president of my seminary, has completed an excellent series of thoughtful blog posts, "Why I am a Methodist and an Evangelical". In them, he explores for a mainly Evangelical audience what the Wesleyan/Methodist heritage has to offer. I highly recommend the series:
  • Part 1: Why I am an Evangelical and a Methodist
  • Part 2: Prevenient Grace
  • Part 3: Means of Grace
  • Part 4: Conversion through Faith in Jesus Christ
  • Part 5: Sanctification, A Reorientation of the Heart
  • Part 6: Discipleship, Catechesis in Community
  • Part 7: Missional Movement - Social Conscience
  • Part 8: Doctrinal Clarity - Catholic Spirit
  • Part 9: Global Vision
  • Part 10: Centrality of Worship
  • Conclusion
See also his earlier series on Wesleyan catechesis:
  • Part 1: Prevenient Grace as the Foundation for Wesleyan Catechesis
  • Part 2: Waiting "in the Means of Grace"
  • Part 3: "It's About Community"
  • Part 4: The Missional Catechesis of Mr. Wesley
  • Part 5: The Role of Doctrine in Wesley's "Catholic Spirit"
  • Part 6: The Practical Side of Wesley's Doctrine
  • Part 7: The Role of Doctrine in Wesley and Wesley's Global Perspective
  • Part 8: The Role of Worship
