A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Methodism it is well for us to remind ourselves at the outset that Methodism shares with other churches the common heritage of catholic Christianity. As an offshoot of the established Church of England Methodism has always held fast to the cardinal doctrines which have come down from the beginning of Christianity. The doctrines of God, of Christ, of the meaning and dignity of human life which prevail in Methodism are essentially the same as those of all the churches which we call evangelical. I f, for example, it were proposed to try a Methodist minister for heretical views as to the Person of Christ, there would be no distinctively Methodist phrasing of the doctrine to be accepted as standard. No doubt certain Methodist authors would be quoted, but the quotations would be found to embody the doctrine which the church has held from the beginning.
