Published by Zondervan in 1994, a systematic exposition of John Wesley's teaching on Christian doctrine, of about 380 pages, drawn chiefly from his sermons. Oden argues against the common view that Wesley was unsystematic, holding that he showed a remarkable consistency over sixty years of preaching and ministry. The book was planned as the first of a series, with later volumes on Wesley's pastoral and ethical teaching; Oden later reworked and expanded the project as the four volumes of John Wesley's Teachings (2012-2014).
