As an ordained pastor in the United Methodist Church, I'm deeply sympathetic to the thinking of John Wesley (left). Here are three articles I wrote for the Wesleyan Theological Journal. At the time I write this, the first one is only available through the ATLA Religion Database. The other two are accessible both online and through the ATLA Religion Database.

An important and controversial topic in Wesleyan theology is the doctrine of Christian perfection. I wrote the entry on "perfection" in the Dictionary of Scripture and Ethics. Despite its title, it is (like all my work) far from perfect.
I have finished writing the following work, but it has not been published yet: “Commentary on Numbers.” Wesley One Volume Commentary on the Bible. Nashville: Abingdon, in press.
