- W1509447226 abstract "The Ashgate Research Companion to World Methodism. Edited by Wiliam Gibson, Peter Forsaith, and Martin Wellings. Burlington, Vt.: Ashgate Publishing, 2013. 550 pp. $149.95 (cloth).This volume approaches the history and global development of the Methodist church with detailed scholarship and nuance, offering an extended reflection on how the history of the tradition connects to the ways is understood and practiced today. Careful not to offer yet another hagiography of John Wesley, the text seeks to open discourse about world by taking into account multiple perspectives on the tradition. The authors work to achieve this task in two ways: by recognizing that, rather than there being one United Methodist Church, there are in fact Methodisms; and by expanding the focus on central figures in the history of beyond the Wesley brothers. The authors observe that there is good reason to celebrate the aesthetic, social, and theological contributions of John and Charles Wesley, yet an over-focus on them or their work will leave other voices of merit unheard.Structured by four major categories-history of the tradition, global Methodism, beliefs and practices, and culture and society-the volume addresses general themes in Methodist thought, such as theological anthropology, ecclesiology, liturgy, and social justice, from multiple standpoints. Though the authors do not speak in concert on the role of the church in the world, all the chapters address variations of Methodist thought on political, economic, ethical, and theological concerns from a rigorously historical perspective. The authors are faithful to history, not to continued adulation of Wesley or to past highlights in Methodist social reform, such as the abolitionist movement. Many of the authors point out popular aphorisms and concepts that are mistakenly attributed to John Wesley, such as the Wesleyan Quadrilateral in theological ethics. By pointing these out, the authors by no means attempt to diminish Wesleys contribution to Methodist thought; rather, they mean to offer an honest appraisal of both his insight and the ways in which his thought has been carried forward and supplemented, in Deutero-Pauline fashion, by adherents of the Methodist tradition.Among the many valuable chapters, a few call for particular attention. Margaret Jones's Methodism and Women focuses on the role of women in Methodist history, as well as recognition of the scholarship of women working on the presence and influence of the tradition in other countries outside the European context. The work of Namsoon Kang on dangerous memory in Asian and Korean feminist theology is attended to, as is the work of Ghanian scholar Mercy Amba Oduyoye on the connections between religion and economics. …" @default.
