The last of four volumes of John Wesley's Teachings, published by Zondervan in 2014. The series is Oden's text-by-text guide to Wesley's teaching, expanded from his John Wesley's Scriptural Christianity (1994), and argues that Wesley was more consistent over six decades of ministry than his reputation suggests. This volume treats Wesley's teaching on ethics and society.
