for Reclaiming the Wesleyan Social Witness: Offering Christ
from the back cover of the book:
“Reclaiming the Wesleyan Social Witness: Offering Christ
attempts to reconcile the tragic separation of Methodism’s gospel
proclamation and its social witness. Authentic Wesleyan evangelism
always weds the two, and this book leads us boldly toward such a
re-marriage. This is an important read for General Conference
delegates, and an excellent study guide on the Wesleyan way for all
United Methodists.”
Reverent Bill Bouknight, DD
Columbia, South Carolina
“Those of us who
are trying to live the Wesleyan way have a great challenge. One of
Wesley’s great contributions to Christendom was the linkage of
passionate commitment to Christ with courageous social witness.
Wesley believed that wherever the good news of Christ is preached
and received, social holiness follows. . . Now, in this engaging,
passionate book, we are invited back (or is it forward?) to embrace
the full Wesleyan vision. Here is a grand invitation and opportunity
for us to rethink our Christian commitments. Through Short and
Kiser’s book, there is real hope for a reclamation of our Wesleyan
social witness.”
Bishop William H. Willimon
North Alabama Conference
“Reclaiming
the Wesleyan Social Witness: Offering Christ is an important
voice about what it means for The United Methodist Church to be
centered in risk-taking mission and service. This book offers fresh
insights into how our social witness can be transformational and
firmly rooted in the Christian
faith.”
Bishop Lindsey G. Davis
North Georgia Conference
“Challenging
widespread practices that divorce faith and works, Kiser and Short
have offered an important contribution to ongoing conversations
within United Methodism, evangelical Christianity, and liberal
traditions. . . .I commend this work to all who claim to articulate
Christianity with a Wesleyan voice.”
