Reading the Way to Heaven

Reading the Way to Heaven, Volume 1, provides a comprehensive exploration of theological hermeneutics within the Methodist tradition. This scholarly work of biblical studies and exegesis and hermeneutics addresses the gap in Wesleyan perspectives on scriptural interpretation. By analyzing the grammar and literal sense of John Wesley's interpretive practices, the text examines the relationship between systematic theology and biblical criticism.

This volume of religious history and christianity focuses on the role of the Holy Spirit in shaping the identity of the reader. It transitions from Wesley's individual soteriology toward a trinitarian rule of faith and a Spirit-formed ecclesiology. The author utilizes biblical criticism and interpretation to define the church as a context for salvation, framing the act of reading as a means of grace within the broader divine economy.
