New Vision of God for the 21st Century Discovering the Essential Wesley for Pastors And Other Seekers

Summary: A New Vision of God for the 21st CenturyThe Essential Wesley for Pastors and Other SeekersStanley A. Fry The author takes his new and comprehensive vision of God as Spirit from the onlyplace in which spirit is experienced and known, that is, from our experience of ourown selves. The need for this intimate and, therefore, bold view of God rests on theincreasing inability of a self-contradictory orthodoxy to speak to t...he spiritualsensibilities of people in the twenty-first century. A new understanding of God enables the author to deal in a fresh way with thetroublesome questions people have raised about the behavior with which God isoften charged. It also allows him to reinterpret John Wesley's doctrine of salvationin a way that addresses the deepest needs of the human spirit. This book is for all those seekers who have been disillusioned or even alienated bythe incoherence and divisiveness of much of the religion they see and hear. It isalso for laypersons seeking clearer guidance for their spiritual life and for pastorsseeking a different perspective for their teaching and preaching. [read more]
