by Robert Branson
Written from a Wesleyan perspective by a formidable cadre of biblical scholars, the Global Wesleyan Encyclopedia of Biblical Theology covers a wide range of biblical theological topics. Truly international in scope, entries on African, Asian, and Caribbean hermeneutics complement entries on the afterlife, biblical ethics, and Deuteronomic theology. Helpful resource lists and cross references round out most entries, making this book an essential addition to the library of anyone wanting to delve deeply into the theological thought world of the Bible. The Global Wesleyan Encyclopedia of Biblical Theology defines major biblical terms, themes and concepts and where appropriate, offers a characteristic Wesleyan assessment of each. It provides a guide for the understanding of the richness of the Wesleyan approach to interpreting Scripture and how it can help Christians in that tradition live and articulate their faith in a global context.
