Beginning with the Trinitarian debates that raged within England from the early 17th century through the 18th century, this book explains and documents how profoundly important the participatory economic Trinitarian dimension is for understanding Wesley’s theology. The author shows how Wesley’s Trinitarian vision of Christian faith is dramatically different and how it affects Wesley’s ecclesiology and soteriology.
