Reviews

""This is a quite wonderful adventure into theology led by one of our most talented theologians. Stephen Long has a gift for reframing ancient truth and giving it contemporary clout. The dear old Articles of Religion have rarely been more lively and immediately relevant to contemporary church life than when presented by Steve Long--timeless Christian wisdom rendered direct and demanding!"" --William Willimon Bishop, United Methodist Church, North Alabama Conference ""Many thanks to Professor Long for his gracious offering to the life of the church. In this book Long demystifies doctrine through commentary on one of the church's most significant documents, encouraging a love for learning our beliefs and a desire for God--in true Wesleyan spirit. The book is an invitation to congregations and individuals to know and love God and neighbor in the fullness in which God intended."" --Dr. Laceye Warner Associate Dean for Academic Programs Associate Professor of the Practice of Evangelism and Methodist Studies Duke Divinity School, Durham, North Carolina
