User blog:Whoizme8/John Wesley and other religions

John Wesley was an exciting man, one of the religious and theological genuises. I was able to cull through the Works, Letters, Journals, Notes on the Bible, and find in my book "John Wesley, Natural Man, and the Isms" his thinking about other religions and what he considered distortions of Christianity. But, he always said that we are Christian and are to face the world together. The theological infighting was to tack place between us but not as we faced the world. He also thought there was room for salvation in the other religions etc.

J. Robert (Bob) Ewbank’s book “John Wesley, Natural Man, and the ‘Isms’ has been published. The ‘Isms’ are Heathenism, Judaism, Deism, Roman Catholicism, Quakerism, and Mysticism. The questions being answered are: how does each of them differ from John Wesley’s idea of True Christianity, and what are the prospects for those holding these views being saved.

Written for the layperson as well as the scholar, there is a Study Guide in the back of the book to help individual or group study. The Guide has questions in the front, which are answered later in the Guide.

Bob has a B.A. from Baker University in Baldwin, Kansas and an M.A. from Garrett-Evangelical. He is currently Lay Leader of St. Mark UMC, in Mobile, AL.

Bishop Rueben P. Job of the United Methodist Church has written some kind words on the back cover.

Sam Royappa District Superintendent of the Coulee District in Wisconsin has recommended this book to his clergy and laity. A review of the book has also been published in the October 15, 2009 copy of The Laity Link which is the newsletter of the Alabama-West Florida Conference Board of Laity.

The book is being used by one local Sunday School, divided into 14 sessions.
