Maker, in Whom We Live; Hark! The Herald Angels Sing; Spirit of Faith, Come Down; O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing; Love Divine, All Loves Excelling; Christ from Whom All Blessings Flow; O the Depth of Love Divine; and Christ the Lord is Risen Today. These are eight hymns (of the 46 written by Charles Wesley) found in the UM Hymnal that are the themes of this eight session study. The song lyrics are printed in each session accompanied by an emphasis on the biblical content and an explanation of the principal theological issues illuminated by the hymn. There is also an introduction, biographical chapters, conclusions, and a bibliography for additional reading. This mixture of explication, discussion and singing should accomplish three of Charles Wesley's aims for his music: (1) Teach scripture with each hymn is solidly based on biblical text (2) Serve as sung affirmations of faith for individuals and groups (3) Perform a liturgical function leading people to soul-searching and praise. There is a separate Leader's Guide #0687036682 which will include a CD with the music.

John Wesley: Holiness of Heart and Life

Belief matters! This book is written for two purposes. The first is to reminds us that what we believe does matter. The second is to explain the doctrinal standards of The United Methodist Church--matters of our belief. Intended for use by both laypersons and clergy, this book describes and exposits the four official Doctrinal Standards of The United Methodist Church. The standards will be explored in the following order: Explanatory Notes, Sermons, Articles of Religion, Confession of Faith. The book also includes a study guide, a glossary, and suggestions for further reading.

This convenient volume offers a panoramic view of the forces and personalities that shaped The United Methodist Church in the United States. Three noted United Methodist historians provide laypersons with a brief history of The United Methodist Church. They skillfully trace the church's origins, beginning with a look at the renewal movement that led to the early denominations within Wesleyanism. They continue through the Second Great Awakening, the periods of slavery and the Civil War, the mergers and unions of the twentieth century, the causes championed by United Methodism, and more.

United Methodism in America: A Compact History

Rowe, Kenneth E.

Maser, Frederick E.

The place of the Mercersburg Theology in American religious history has been widely recognized.... It is usually viewed as one of the unique movements in 19th century American Protestantism, principally because it challenged many of the prevailing theological ideas and practices of the time. Two surveys of American religious history have described it as a "theologically and liturgically creative high church movement" (Robert T. Handy) and as the "most creative manifestation of the Catholic tendency" (Sydney E. Ahlstrom) among 19th century American Protestants.
