The first of four volumes of John Wesley's Teachings, published by Zondervan in 2012, in which Oden reworks and expands his earlier John Wesley's Scriptural Christianity (1994). The series is a text-by-text guide to Wesley's teaching, arguing that Wesley was more internally consistent over six decades of ministry than his reputation suggests. This volume treats God, providence and humanity.
