Reviews
"Abraham draws fascinating lines between Aldersgate and Athens that few could have imagined existed. Priority reading for philosophers of religion." --Jerry L. Walls, author of Heaven: The Logic of Eternal Joy and editor of The Oxford Handbook of Eschatology
"This is Abraham at his best. His thought-provoking comments throughout will engage the serious reader for years to come." --Richard P. Heitzenrater, The Divinity School, Duke University
...this book is a wonderful addition to any Wesleyan scholar's shelf. -- Lee M. Jefferson, Centre College -- Religious Studies Review
William J. Abraham... has given us a slim but rich volume on the epistemology he believes is extractable from Wesley's experience.... Abraham has done us all a favor by clearly and concisely organizing and arguing the evidence of Wesley's theological epistemology. The case he builds comes from a close reading of the text, and by bringing Wesley into conversation with modern philosophers of religion he has shown the continued relevance of this great evangelist and modern saint. -- Tony Hunt -- The Living Church, 2011
[Aldersgate and Athens] encourages believers to look less to a reasoned faith proportionate to the objective (external or public) evidence for theism and more to a faith which generates its own certainty in the encounter with God in revelation and experience. -- Graham Gould, Leyton -- The Journal of Theological Studies
