Abstract

During his life and the centuries after his death, many scholars see the theology of John Wesley as attempting to bridge a gap between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. However, since Albert C. Outler mentioned in a footnote of the bottom his book titled John Wesley in 1964 that Wesley also pulled from the early Byzantine tradition, scholars are now attempting to place Wesley's work in a new light that attempts to bridge the paradigms of the Western church and Eastern church. This work shows how Wesley forged a synthetic understanding of anthroplogy, soteriology, and teleology that is heavily based in Western notions, but also drawing from multiple early Greek voices like Clement of Alexandrius, Macarius/Gregory of Nyssa, and Chrysostom.
