• W832928517 abstract "This article focuses on the theology of John Wesley and its implications for clinical practice. Drawing from leading theologians in Wesleyan theology, the authors identify key tenets of his system concerning the nature and character of God, the nature of salvation and divine/human interaction. In the process, the authors emphasize such themes as the primary role of the Holy Spirit, Christian perfection, love, human liberty and responsibility and the cooperant nature of grace. The final part of the article focuses on the implications for clinical practice. It emphasizes a concern for the whole person and how spiritual experiences can impact personality change, particularly as it relates to growing love for God, self and others, a process enhanced through therapy. In addition, they place emphasis on the importance of choice and taking responsibility for growth in one's life. Finally, the authors discuss therapy as a means of grace.John Wesley was an 18th Century Anglican priest with an evangelistic passion to spread Scriptural holiness throughout the land (1978, p. 233). He launched a movement that eventually blossomed into a family of Wesleyan-related denominations. In the early 1730s the term was a derisive label, which scoffers applied to members of an Oxford student society that Wesley led, and which referred to the highly structured spiritual practices of those under John Wesley's direction. Today Wesley is easily associated with three things: (a) his open air preaching to British commoners and his use of lay preachers; (b) his innovative use of small groups-societies, bands, select societies and recovery units-to foster spiritual maturity and accountability; and (c) for the wealth of Christian lyrics that were heartily sung during Methodist meetings, many written by his brother, Charles (Abraham, 2005; Collins, 2007). Beyond these, within Wesleyan theological circles, Wesley is known for his emphasis on the doctrine of Christian perfection, holy love, and the active role of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers.John Wesley was a practical theologian. His theology was embedded in his sermons (Collins & Vickers, 2013; Outler & Heitzenrater, 1991), his notes on the New Testament (Wesley, 1755/2012), his printed tracts such as A Plain Account of Christian Perfection (1872/1966), and his correspondence to fellow clergy, critics, and congregants. Readers may consult the Wesley Center Online for more information on John Wesley and his writings (http://wesley.nnu.edu/johnwesley/the-sermons-of-john-wesley-1872-edition). Wesley was firmly committed to orthodox Christianity (Collins, 2007), albeit with a Wesleyan twist, as he sought to address the dry rot in the Church of England (Abraham, 2005, p. 33). It has been left to his theological successors to delineate, systematize, and defend Wesley's theology in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.Leading TheologiansWesleyan theological scholars include such noteworthy figures as William J. Abraham (2005), Richard Heitzenrater (2013), Harald Lindstrom (1980), and Albert Outler (1975). We chose to highlight four theologians whose understanding of Wesley advances Wesleyan-based integration. They are Mildred Bangs Wynkoop (1967, 1970, 1972), Kenneth Collins (2007), Randy Maddox (1994), and Mark H. Mann (2006). Wynkoop interpreted Wesleyan theology in the 1960s and 1970s. She expounded on the doctrine of holiness as pivotal to a Wesleyan understanding of salvation contra Calvinist predestination (Wynkoop, 1967). She argued for John Wesley's conjoining of personal piety and social concern against challenges to this union presented by fundamentalism (Wynkoop, 1970). Three particular aspects of Wynkoop's (1972) interpretation of Wesleyan theology provide a firm foundation for the integration of Wesleyan theology and psychotherapy. These aspects include* Her presentation of God's love as the key interpretive lens through which Wesleyans understood all other theological concepts,* Her conceptualization of holiness as a God given, Holy Spirit empowered capacity to orient one's entire being around God's agenda for the world, and* Her definition of sin as a disordering of this God-centric life orientation. …" @default.
