Description
A renewed vision of salvation that still transforms.
At a time when many Methodists find it challenging to express what sets their tradition apart, The Four Alls offers a compelling invitation to reconnect with the essential convictions that have always defined Wesleyan spirituality.
Early Methodists proclaimed a more accessible and powerful vision through what they called the Four Alls:
- All must be saved
- All can be saved
- All can know they are saved
- All can be saved to the uttermost
This grace-centered framework once ignited a transformative movement. Though nearly forgotten today, these Four Alls continue to hold remarkable power to renew conviction and strengthen witness in the church today.
The Four Alls by Michael Carpenter makes a thoughtful, well-researched case for reclaiming this foundational framework as bedrock for a new generation of Methodists. Written with clarity and pastoral warmth, the book helps readers understand:
- Who we are as people shaped by Wesleyan tradition
- What we believe about God's saving grace and human transformation
- Why these beliefs matter in our contemporary context
- How we can live faithfully with assurance, purpose, and conviction
Accessible yet historically rich, pastoral yet theologically grounded, The Four Alls is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand, embrace, and live out the transformative vision at the center of Wesleyan faith.
