Man Of One Book

John Wesley claimed to be “a man of one book” – the Bible. He was clear in his mind what the Bible meant and taught. Donald Bullen carefully explores the biblical hermenuetic of John Wesley. Using the insights of Reader-Response Criticism we may comprehend better Wesley’s understanding and interpretation of the Bible. The so-called “Quadrilateral,” rooted in American Methodism, gives further insight into Wesley’s use of tradition, experience, reason, Scripture, and their inter-relation.
