Practical Studies in the Wesleyan Tradition, has published several articles,
and a book entitled True Christianity: The Doctrine of Dispensations in the

| dc.description.abstract | This review essay analyses three works by Wesleyan theologians:
T. A. Noble’s Christian Theology, Volume 1, and two contributions from the
Francis Asbury Society: Christology as Theology by William M. Ury and
Trinitarian Theology by Allan Coppedge, which articulate Christocentric
Theism and Trinitarian Theism. While appreciating some aspects of these
approaches, the essay raises critical concerns: the tendency to minimize
the role of progressive revelation, the need for greater attention to divine
accommodation and pedagogy, the danger of collapsing theology into a
narrow Christonomism, and the risk of cultural insularity in global contexts.
The article contributes to ongoing dialogue within Wesleyan theology,
cautioning against methodological imbalances. | en_US |
