Book Description
The Limits of a Catholic Spirit presents an extraordinary, in-depth study of John Wesley's relationship with Catholicism, examining the limits to which Wesley, as an evangelical Protestant, practiced his ideal of a Catholic spirit. Through the use of rare primary sources from the National Archives, Kelly Diehl Yates provides a refreshing investigation of Wesley's interaction and strained relationship with Catholicism, taking the path less trodden in studies of his theology. While revisionist scholars argue that Wesley proposed principles of religious tolerance in his sermon, Catholic Spirit, Yates argues that he did not expect unity between Protestants and Catholics, remaining wedded to anti-Catholic beliefs himself. By paying attention to this previously unfilled gap in Wesley studies, Yates' exemplary historical and critical study tackles questions which have beset Wesley scholars for decades, including Wesley's relationship with the Jesuits, Jacobitism, the anti-Catholic Gordon Riots of 1780, and his time in Ireland. Grounded in historical case studies, Yates explores these questions from a fresh perspective, providing answers to these questions, and more.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1840 edition. Excerpt: ... they had now a mission to chastise, to purge the Lord's vineyard, which, though it has now for nearly three hundred years been growing in a bright light of truth to which Romanists are strangers, is yet bringing forth to such a fearful extent wild grapes only? But let the reader think rather than the writer speak on such a subject. The present only is ours. "It is not for us to know the times or the seasons which the Father hath put in his own power." But we have duties. Let us not forget them, nor Him who calls us to them. The Apostles. The apostles, guided by that Spirit which "taught them all things," were too enlightened not to know that party spirit and sectarian zeal, which had ever shewn themselves leading principles in human nature under every form of religion, would soon manifest themselves in the Church of Christ, as well as every where else. In almost every one of the apostolic epistles, therefore, there are to be found passages emphatically enjoining unity in that church to which the epistle is addressed, and cautioning the Christian converts against schism. In almost every apostolic epistle, therefore, there is some passage or other relating to the inquiry which now engages us. And this part of our investigation naturally leads us to a variety of details. There is one respect, however, in which all these passages are at one; and it is important for us to remark, in the first place, this feature of universal agreement amongst them; and therefore let us do so now. Thev are all at one, then, in this, that they have all for object to shew, not the limits of Christian communion, like the articles of the creeds of too many subsequent churches, Acts i 7. z but, on the contrary, its comprehensiveness. Altogether unlike any thing...

Book Description
The Journal of Biblical and Theological Studies (JBTS) is an academic journal focused on the fields of Bible and Theology from an inter-denominational point of view. The journal is comprised of an editorial board of scholars that represent several academic institutions throughout the world. JBTS is concerned with presenting high-level original scholarship in an approachable way. Academic journals are often written by scholars for other scholars. They are technical in nature, assuming a robust knowledge of the field. There are fewer journals that seek to introduce biblical and theological scholarship that is also accessible to students. JBTS seeks to provide high-level scholarship and research to both scholars and students, which results in original scholarship that is readable and accessible. As an inter-denominational journal JBTS is broadly evangelical. We accept contributions in all theological disciplines from any evangelical perspective. In particular, we encourage articles and book reviews within the fields of Old Testament, New Testament, Biblical Theology, Church History, Systematic Theology, Practical Theology, Philosophical Theology, Philosophy, and Ethics.

Book Description
This book employs a global history approach to John Wesley’s (1703–1791) political and social tracts. It stresses the personal element in Wesley’s political thought, focusing on the twin themes of ‘liberty and loyalty’. Wesley’s political writings reflect on the impact of global conflicts on Britain and provide insight into the political responses of the broader religious world of the eighteenth century. They cover such topics as the nature and origin of political power, economy, taxes, trade, opposition to slavery and to smuggling, British rule in Ireland, relaxation of anti-Catholic Acts, and the American Revolution. Glen O’Brien argues that Wesley’s political foundations were less theological than they were social and personal. Political engagement was exercised as part of a social contract held together by a compact of trust. The book contributes to eighteenth-century religious history, and to Wesley Studies in particular, through a fresh engagement with primary sources and recent secondary literature in order to place Wesley’s writings in their global political context.
