Methodism and American Empire
In Methodism and American Empire: Reflections on Decolonizing the Church, co-editors David W. Scott (Director of Mission Theology at the General Board of Global Ministries of The United Methodist Church) and Filipe Maia (Assistant Professor of Theology, Boston University School of Theology) have assembled an excellent encore to the 2021 volume edited by Scott and Darryl Stephens (both also chapter authors here), The Practice of Mission in Global …
The Influence of Personalism on Harkness and King, Their Pacifism, and Their Persistence
As it is the hallmark of liberal theologies to take their critics seriously and learn from the criticisms offered, it is important to acknowledge a valid potential criticism of this article at its outset. Rufus Burrow, in God and Human Dignity: The Personalism, Theology, and Ethics of Martin Luther King, Jr., observed that scholarship on King demonstrates a tendency on the part of white scholars to try to use the work of Boston Personalists to cl…
Was Eighteenth-Century Arminian Anti-Slavery Also Anti-Racist
Despite portrayals of John Wesley and early Methodist leaders as proto-proponents of civil rights, their Arminian anti-slavery stance was hardly what scholars Ibram X. Kendi and Anthony G. Reddie term ‘anti-racist’. There remained in their writings evidence of empire that upheld racist constructs. What if, rather than decrying colonists’ desire for independence, Wesley had helped them see that fighting for enslaved persons’ freedom might assist t…

Original Sin, or Other Opposition to Optimism? How Harkness Differs from Wesley in the Face of Human Depravity
Responding to the too-optimistic theology of fellow Arminian, John Taylor, John Wesley wrote his lengthy treatise on the doctrine of original sin. In an optimistic effort to make fellow personalist theologians' works accessible, Methodist theologian Georgia Harkness tersely disdained the same doctrine in her first major book. She soon found her liberal theology "chastened" by interactions with neo-orthodox opponents and experiences of depravity-i…
Response to AAR Articles
These articles were first presented in the form of a panel to the Wesleyan Studies Unit of the American Academy of Religion. At the time, Randy Maddox commented that it would be difficult to respond to such a diverse set of papers. Interestingly, their common inspiration, which had prompted the call for papers, had been the 2018 volume he edited with James G. Donat (Medical and Health Writings, vol. XXXII of The Works of John Wesley). At the hear…
