Making Disciples : Faith Formation In The Wesleyan Tradition

Matthaei examines the elements of John Wesley’s theology and ministry that contributed to a Wesleyan ecology of faith formation, an interconnecting network of the relationships, structures and practices that created an environment for nuturing and sustaining a holy life in communion with God and others. Insights gained from this research into John Wesley’s total educational enterprise can then provide the impetus for faithful and imaginative approaches to Christian faith formation today. This is a practical and lively book that will be informative for academics and Christian educators in local churches alike.
