Aldersgate and Athens

Abraham draws fascinating lines between Aldersgate and Athens that few could have imagined existed. Priority reading for philosophers of religion.

~Jerry L. Walls, author of Heaven: The Logic of Eternal Joy and editor of The Oxford Handbook of Eschatology

This is Abraham at his best. His thought-provoking comments throughout will engage the serious reader for years to come.

~Richard P. Heitzenrater, The Divinity School, Duke University

...this book is a wonderful addition to any Wesleyan scholar's shelf.

~Lee M. Jefferson, Centre College, Religious Studies Review

William J. Abraham... has given us a slim but rich volume on the epistemology he believes is extractable from Wesley's experience.... Abraham has done us all a favor by clearly and concisely organizing and arguing the evidence of Wesley's theological epistemology. The case he builds comes from a close reading of the text, and by bringing Wesley into conversation with modern philosophers of religion he has shown the continued relevance of this great evangelist and modern saint.

~Tony Hunt, The Living Church

[ Aldersgate and Athens] encourages believers to look less to a reasoned faith proportionate to the objective (external or public) evidence for theism and more to a faith which generates its own certainty in the encounter with God in revelation and experience.

~Graham Gould, Leyton, The Journal of Theological Studies
