This is book four of a six volume series that focuses on the salvation experiences of the people called Nazarenes. This book covers the years 1895-1928. We examine every book of theology used in the Ministerial Course of Studies. We examine the hymnals used and songs sung during each period of Nazarene history. We listen to the testimonies of the people involved. We discuss the liturgy and worship patterns. We ask scores of “Crazy Good Questions” for discussions. The book includes hundreds of Scripture verses and references to over two hundred academic journals and articles on Nazarene theology.

Can you live a holy life? Among Evangelicals, Nazarenes represent a distinct minority who believe it is possible to live a life without sinning every day in thought, word, and deed. We join the majority of Christians who, with two thousand years of experience, know it is possible to live a holy life. These include Catholics, Orthodox, Methodists, and other holiness groups. How did we come to be an Evangelical minority while still representing the dominant position within the Christian faith concerning holiness? Obviously, it is a matter of our history. We were formed from remnants of the Three Great Awakenings. These revivals Christianized the American continent giving rise to the Methodist Church, the Evangelical movement, Pentecostalism, and the Church of the Nazarene. The Nazarene terminology for two works of grace comes directly from these revivals and was debated throughout the nineteenth century by Methodists and Calvinists. The cardinal doctrine of the Church of the Nazarene is the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. His resurrection is experienced through two works of grace. The two works of grace are Christian Conversion and Holy Purpose. The history of these two works of grace, going back to the early church, is told here. This is Volume One of a three volume series. It cover everything prior to 1928. It lays the foundation for the next two volumes. Can you live a holy life? This work says, "Yes."

Historians have noted the connections between the Wesleyan Methodist movement that began in the eighteenth century, the emergence of African American Methodist traditions and an interdenominational Holiness movement in the nineteenth century, and the birth of Pentecostalism in the twentieth century. This volume, written by historians, theologians, and pastors, builds on that earlier work. The contributors present a diverse array of key figures-denominational leaders and mavericks, institutional loyalists and come--outers, clergy and laity--who embodied these movements. The authors show that in spite of their differing historical and cultural contexts, these movements constitute a distinct theological family whose confident and expectant faith in the transforming power of God has significant implications for the renewal of the contemporary church and its faithfulness to God's mission in the world today.

The dream that drew the founders together was a believers church in the Wesleyan tradition. It is the same dream that guides the Church of the Nazarene today. But how does that translate into a world where denominational lines don t seem to matter as much as they used to?

In Wesleyan Pneumatology, Pentecostal Mission, and the Missio Dei, Jody B. Fleming argues that missiology in a Wesleyan context has been heavily influenced by the Western worldview and needs renewal. Spirituality is central to living in many non-western cultures, integrated with the physical world of everyday life. Wesleyan traditions may need to renew and strengthen the pneumatology found in their mission theory and praxis. As the center of Christianity is shifting to the global south, Pentecostal and charismatic expressions of the faith are becoming more prominent. Without forfeiting their solid foundations, what might the Wesleyan traditions learn from their theological cousins about engagement with the Holy Spirit? How might pneumatology be renewed in order to address spiritual beliefs found in other cultures in both global and local settings? Renewal also includes the indigenous voice as essential for understanding cultural dynamics and spirituality. Contextualization is not new to missiology and so mission theory is explored from Latin American scholars as another point for renewal. Partnerships in mission and the role of the Holy Spirit are highlighted in the of field work conducted in Venezuela. In Renewing the Spark the author suggests that a fresh look at pneumatology will more effectively articulate the gospel in holistic and spirit-centered non-western cultures.

The times they are a-changin'. As such, our theology needs to adapt--to be responsive to the changing landscape. The idea for Embracing the Past--Forging the Future: A New Generation of Wesleyan Theology came from our assessment that Wesleyan theology has yet to fully adapt to this changing landscape, and that the future of Wesleyan theology requires the bringing together of old and new voices. The difficult task of balancing between continuity and change--keeping up with the developments of our culture and staying true to the roots of our tradition--requires the dual focus of looking forward and backward simultaneously. In this volume, we have brought together contributions by young Wesleyan scholars (graduate students and junior faculty) as a way of illustrating and articulating a new generation of Wesleyan theology. These younger voices demonstrate the desire to push Wesleyan theology in new directions. Additionally, we have included contributions from senior scholars who have been doing important work and who have already made significant contributions to Wesleyan theology. This is not simply the "old guard" but the voices of scholars who continue to make a profound impact on Wesleyan theology.

Wesleyanism is a movement of hope. Wesleyans and their Holiness and Pentecostal offspring pray and work with the expectancy that the love and power of God will transform hearts and lives, renew the church, and bring compassion, healing, and justice to a suffering world. In a variety of ways, from holiness of heart and life to bodily healing to the abolition of slavery, they anticipated the life of the coming kingdom of heaven to already be breaking into the present through the power of the Holy Spirit. Anticipating Heaven Below explores their optimism of grace, examining its pitfalls as well as its promise. Henry H. Knight seeks to enable and inspire present generations within Wesleyan, Holiness, and Pentecostal movements to proclaim with confidence the promise of heaven below, and to do so with passion and integrity.

"Since Wesleyan Holiness and Pentecostalism are the foundations of my faith journey, I set out to put together the 'great cloud of [women] witnesses' (Heb 12:1) from these two faith traditions who founded Christian colleges. ... Even if manyof the Christian higher education that these women founded no longer exist, or have been merged into other institutions, it is of paramount importance to honor their life journeys in the service of God."--Author's preface.
