There's more to salvation than punching your ticket for heaven. John Wesley taught that full salvation means becoming completely holy in heart and life. This focus on personal holiness was one of the defining characteristics of the Wesleyan revival. The many Methodist and Wesleyan denominations, the Pentecostal and holiness movements, and the Salvation Army all trace their lineage back to these teachings.

There's more to salvation than punching your ticket for heaven. John Wesley taught that full salvation means becoming completely holy in heart and life. This focus on personal holiness was one of the defining characteristics of the Wesleyan revival. The many Methodist and Wesleyan denominations, the Pentecostal and holiness movements, and the Salvation Army all trace their lineage back to these teachings. Wesley's followers believed what he taught fiercely, lived it out faithfully, and witnessed to it boldly, to the point that they were often violently persecuted. Today, millions of people attend the churches descended from the Wesleyan revival, but it's often hard to tell them from their neighbors who don't go to church at all. Wesley pulls no punches in his closely-argued Biblical logic, but his 18th-century English is unfamiliar to modern readers. Long-time pastor David Wentz has updated the language to restore its original clarity, force, and spirit. The result is a text that readers of all levels of theological interest and expertise will understand and enjoy. This short book is ideal for small groups and adult Sunday School classes. Dr. Wentz provides an introduction that sets Wesley's words in context, thoughtful discussion questions at the end of each section, a brief guide on how to lead small groups, and a suggested six-week schedule. For further study, Wesley's numerous Scripture quotes and allusions are identified. Wesley's full original version is included as an appendix. John Wesley's The Scripture Way of Salvation is part of the John Wesley in Modern Language series. In a time of upheaval in global Christianity, these brief, accessible group studies of Wesley's foundational emphases are essential.
