'Christians aren’t perfect, just forgiven.' John Wesley doesn’t agree. In this classic sermon, the father of Methodism and grandfather of the Salvation Army and the Pentecostal movement shows that under a proper Biblical definition, Christians not only can become perfect in this life - God commands us to! Seeking perfection was an integral part of the explosive growth of Methodism for 100 years, even as it led to the persecution of those who practiced it. As many of the denominations descended from Wesley face turmoil and rebirth around the world, renewed attention to its theological roots is imperative. Wesley pulls no punches in his closely-argued Biblical logic, but his 18th-century English is unfamiliar to modern readers. Long-time pastor David Wentz has updated the language to restore its original force and spirit. The result is a text that readers of all levels of theological interest and expertise will understand and enjoy.This short book is ideal for small groups and adult Sunday School classes. Dr. Wentz provides an introduction that sets Wesley’s words in context, thoughtful discussion questions at the end of each section, a brief guide on how to lead small groups, and a suggested six-week schedule. For further study, Wesley’s numerous Scripture quotes and allusions are identified. Wesley’s full original version is included as an appendix.John Wesley’s Christian Perfection is part of The John Wesley in Modern Language Series. In a time of upheaval in global Christianity, these brief, accessible group studies of Wesley’s foundational emphases are essential.
