Abstract:
Penulisan karya ilmiah ini dilatar belakangi dengan sebuah tujuan untuk melihat lagu hymn karya Charles Wesley memiliki relevansi di dalam sebuah penginjilan, yang dilakukan oleh Wesley bersaudara. Wesley bersaudara merupakan salah satu tokoh gerejawi yang mempunyai peran besar dalam berkembangnya pelayanan penginjilan di Inggris. Masing-masing diantara Wesley bersaudara mempunyai peran tersendiri ketika menjalankan pelayanan. John Wesley terkenal dengan khotbahnya yang membangun dan displin dalam iman kepada Yesus Kristus, sedangkan Charles Wesley terkenal dengan kemampuannya dalam menulis lirik lagu. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penulisan karya ilmiah ini adalah dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif. Dan untuk melakukan metode penelitian tersebut hal yang akan dilakukan, yaitu: Pertama, pengambilan dan pengumpulan data melalui buku, jurnal, dan skripsi online yang berkaitan dengan judul yang dibahas dalam karya tulis ini. Kedua, observasi lagu-lagu ciptaan Charles Wesley. Dalam karya ilmiah ini, penulis mencoba untuk membuktikan bahwa lagu hymn karya Charles Wesley mempunyai relevansi di dalam penginjilan Wesley bersaudara berperan sejauh mana nyanyian yang diciptakan oleh Charles Wesley, mendukung khotbah dari John Wesley, dan pelayanan penginjilan yang dikerjakan menghasilkan makna baru. Setiap syair mengandung makna yang mendalam dalam menggugah hati jemaat, sehingga lewat nyanyian mampu membuat jemaat bertobat, dan mengalami peneguhan iman di dalam Yesus kristus.The writing of this scientific work was motivated to see the role of a song in evangelism, carried out by the Wesley brothers. The Wesley brothers were one of the ecclesiastical figures who had a large role in developing evangelistic services in England. Each of the Wesley brothers has its role when running services. John Wesley is famous for his constructive preaching and discipline in faith in Jesus Christ, while Charles Wesley is famous for writing song lyrics. The research method used in writing this thesis is to use qualitative methods. And to do the research method, the things that will be done are: First, data collection and collection through books, journals, and online thesis related to the title discussed in this paper. Second, observation of songs by Charles Wesley. In this scientific work, the author tries to prove that the role of singing in the Wesley evangelization of brothers plays the extent to which the song was created by Charles Wesley, supporting John Wesley’s sermon. Each poem contains a profound meaning in moving the congregation's hearts so that singing can make the church repent and experience the confirmation of faith in Jesus Christ.

Abstract:
And all that believed were together, and had all things common. And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. And they continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart.Acts 2. 44–5.Among the strangest of the rumours circulating about early Methodism was the charge that it promoted the notion of Christian communism—‘the community of goods’. In the early summer of 1739 Lord Egmonc, one of the Georgia Trustees, got wind of the story and after hearing Whiteficld preach at Blackheath pressed him whether, among other eccentricities, he held that ‘all things should be in common’. The same year two anti-Methodist pamphlets raised the same issue, and in 1740 it surfaced again in the papers when another former Oxford Methodist, Benjamin Ingham, was accused by his local vicar of helping to foment a violent riot of Dewsbury cloth workers by ‘preaching up … a community of goods, as was practised by the Primitive Christians’. Ingham was said to urge a sharing of wealth so drastic that his brother had remarked in disgust, ‘if I mind our Ben, he would preach me out of all I have’.

Abstract:
John Wesley required detailed records to be compiled of Methodist society members. One extant list is that of the Keighley circuit for 1763–5. This article, breaking new ground in Wesley studies, argues that symbols in this and other catalogues recorded members’ spiritual condition. These symbols are used to analyse recruitment, losses and spiritual change on a quarterly basis. They reveal that although recruitment in the circuit was high during a revival at the start of a new preaching regime, it fell quickly, many members departed and there was little overall improvement in spiritual condition. Recruitment and changes were not uniform across the circuit, pointing to local rather than regional or national influences.

Abstract:
This essay focuses on repentance, with respect to one particular aspect of the work and witness of the Methodists as exemplified in the writings of their founders, John and Charles Wesley (1703–91 and 1707–88 respectively). A predominant motif of their preaching and hymn-writing came from the experience of working with condemned prisoners in Oxford and London gaols, an experience which became paradigmatic for the evangelical conversionist stance of the movement. The metaphors of imprisonment and freedom were realities arising from the physical conditions of the few, pressed upon a general population perceived to be languishing in spiritual stupor and captivity as the kairos of Gospel revelation called all those under sentence of death to repentance: This is the time, no more delay; This is the Lord’s appointed day’.

Abstract:
Reflecting on the early endeavours of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge (SPCK) following its establishment in 1699, John Chamberlayne, the Society’s secretary, confidently noted the ‘greater spirit of zeal and better face of Religion already visible throughout the Nation’. Although Chamberlayne clearly uses the language of revival, through the nineteenth century, many historians of the Evangelical Revival in Britain saw it as a ‘new’ movement arising in the 1730s with the advent of the evangelical preaching of the early Methodists, Welsh and English. Nineteenth-century historians often confidently propagated the belief that they lived in an age inherently superior to the unreformed eighteenth century. The view that the Church of England from the Restoration to the Evangelical Revival was dominated by Latitudinarian moralism leading to dead and formal religion has recently been challenged but was a regular feature of Victorian scholarship that has persisted in some recent work. The traditional tendency to highlight the perceived dichotomy between mainstream Anglicanism and the Revival has served to obscure areas of continuity such as the fact that Whitefield and the Wesleys intentionally addressed much of their early evangelistic preaching to like-minded brethren in pre-existing networks of Anglican religious societies and that Methodism thrived as a voluntary religious society. Scores of historians have refuted the Victorian propensity to assert the Revival’s independence from the Church of England.

Abstract:
Gideon Ouseley was born in the year of John Wesley’s second visit to County Galway, was ‘converted’ in the year of Wesley’s death, and died on the one hundredth anniversary of Wesley’s introduction to field preaching. A Methodist rural revivalist could have no better pedigree. I first encountered him, not in a dream as many Methodist contemporaries seem to have done, but in the correspondence of Joseph Butterworth, MP, to whom Ouseley sent graphic details of the nature of Irish Catholicism for his controversial speeches against Roman Catholic emancipation, and in the records of the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society, in which Ouseley stands out as the most flamboyant missionary of his generation. In terms of published works Ouseley’s career can also be traced through his prolific anti-Catholic pamphleteering and in the pages of William Arthur’s unexceptional Victorian biography. But by far the most revealing record of his life and work is to be found in the manuscripts collected by John Ouseley Bonsall, a Dublin businessman who hero-worshipped his missionary uncle.

AbstractThe following article was delivered as the annual lecture of the Methodist Sacramental Fellowship at the 2016 Methodist Conference in London. Beginning with the original context of John Wesley's well-known phrase, ‘the world as my parish’, this article explores the digital aspects of our global parish today. Putting the digital age on the agenda of the Church's mission is seen as a similar response to Wesley's decision to become ‘more vile’ and enter the world of field preaching. The lecture concludes by offering a fresh approach to Methodist identity magnified by aspects of digital culture, calling for the creation of digital Arminianism, digital field preaching, digital creativity and, ultimately, a digital parish. The article proposes that Methodism embrace a digital social holiness to spread scriptural holiness throughout the geographic and digital landscape.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to prove that from 1738, in Wesley's preaching and teaching, both law and grace are proclaimed and function together in strict interdependence. Wesley firmly resisted all attempts to disrupt the delicate theological balance between these two elements. In exploring this idea, we will first trace the formation of Wesley's theology of law and grace, through the moralistic influence of the Church of England and the evangelical influence of the Moravians. Then we will examine the controversies which help illustrate the interdependence of law and grace, as well as the boundaries of each, in Wesley's thinking. We shall see that Wesley's doctrine of the moral law is dependent upon grace in that the desire and ability to fulfil the law comes only by the grace of faith. Wesley's doctrine of grace is dependent upon the law in that faith can be maintained and strengthened only through obedience, and in that without obedience to the moral law the fruits and purpose of grace are made void. Without Wesley's doctrine of grace, his doctrine of law is mere legalism. Yet without the law his doctrine of grace is utterly frustrated, since the ultimate purpose of grace in Wesley's thinking is to make possible that sanctification which is the fulfilling of the law. The contention of this thesis, however, is not merely that Wesley's doctrines of law and grace are interdependent, but that they are strictly interdependent. By strictly interdependent I mean that this interdependence is precisely defined at certain key points, and that these key points of interdependence remain constant without exception from 1738.

Abstract:
Bibliography: leaves 96-100.
In 1988 Methodist people throughout the world were encouraged to commemorate the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the evangelical ·conversion of John Wesley. This thesis arises from a questioning of the exclusive emphasis placed by so many upon Wesley's Aldersgate experience. The question asked is whether Wesley's heart-warming experience was indeed the turning point of his theology and practice, or whether there were other equally important (or even more important) moments in his life. A fresh reading of Wesley has shown that the promotion of this one event in his life has led to a narrow focus which is not born out by his faith and practice. Not only were there many moments of decision in his life, such as the 1725 discovery of Jeremy Taylor's Rules and Exercises of Holy Living and Holy Dying, his submission· to become "more vile" through field preaching in 1739, or his 1784 decision to ordain priests, but each of such moments signified a change in the direction of his life. One such moment was Wesley's decision to respond to the American Revolution. This decision to enter the world of politics proved to be a turning point in his thought and practice, which holds unexplored potential for the political practice of the people called Methodist. It is therefore appropriate that during the anniversary celebrations of Aldersgate, Wesley's thought should be explored beyond the narrow confines imposed by this Aldersgate mania.

O estudo da teologia de John Wesley é um tema crescente no meio acadêmico, verificado especialmente a partir da década de 1960. O foco desta dissertação está na teologia de John Wesley, no contexto cultural do século XVIII; percebendo o quanto e como ele percebe e é influenciado pelo paradigma da modernidade em consolidação no Ocidente. O caminho escolhido para alcançar o objetivo estabelecido para esta dissertação foi verificar o processo de consolidação deste paradigma, e isto num processo gradativo, que se verificou desde os séculos X e XI com o aprimoramento e evolução da agricultura, até o contexto específico da Inglaterra dos tempos de J. Wesley. Uma vez constatado o ambiente de onde emerge a teologia wesleyana, optou-se por apresentar o desenvolvimento de sua teologia, verificando a sua relação com o fluxo provindo do contexto em que está inserido. A conclusão aponta para uma teologia encarnada e vivencial, que tem no caminho da salvação sua motivação originaria e desdobrou-se num complexo tecido teológico, fruto de um esforço de encontrar respostas para as novas perguntas que a modernidade colocou para a teologia e para o cristianismo daquele tempo.
The study of John Wesley theology is a growing theme in academia, especially from the 1960s. The focus of this dissertation is on John Wesley s theology on its context, realizing how he perceives and is influenced by the paradigm of modernity in consolidation in the context of England eighteenth century. The path chosen to achieve the goal set for this dissertation was to analyze the process of consolidation of this paradigm, and it s gradual process that started from the tenth and eleventh centuries with the improvement and development of agriculture, to the specific context of England on J. Wesley reality. Witch the environment where Wesley s theology comes, in mind, the next step is the reflection on his theology, checking its relation with the flow coming from the context in which it appears. The conclusion points to an embodied and experiential theology, which had in the way of salvation its first motivation and unfolded into a complex theological production, as a result of an effort to find answers to the new questions that modernity has put to theology and Christianity that time.

Full text
Abstract:
Grand Canyon National Park is all about time and timescales. Time is the currency of our daily life, of history, and of biological evolution. Grand Canyon’s beauty has inspired explorers, artists, and poets. Behind it all, Grand Canyon’s geology and sense of timelessness are among its most prominent and important resources. Grand Canyon has an exceptionally complete and well-exposed rock record of Earth’s history. It is an ideal place to gain a sense of geologic (or deep) time. A visit to the South or North rims, a hike into the canyon of any length, or a trip through the 277-mile (446-km) length of Grand Canyon are awe-inspiring experiences for many reasons, and they often motivate us to look deeper to understand how our human timescales of hundreds and thousands of years overlap with Earth’s many timescales reaching back millions and billions of years. This report summarizes how geologists tell time at Grand Canyon, and the resultant “best” numeric ages for the canyon’s strata based on recent scientific research. By best, we mean the most accurate and precise ages available, given the dating techniques used, geologic constraints, the availability of datable material, and the fossil record of Grand Canyon rock units. This paper updates a previously-published compilation of best numeric ages (Mathis and Bowman 2005a; 2005b; 2007) to incorporate recent revisions in the canyon’s stratigraphic nomenclature and additional numeric age determinations published in the scientific literature. From bottom to top, Grand Canyon’s rocks can be ordered into three “sets” (or primary packages), each with an overarching story. The Vishnu Basement Rocks were once tens of miles deep as North America’s crust formed via collisions of volcanic island chains with the pre-existing continent between 1,840 and 1,375 million years ago. The Grand Canyon Supergroup contains evidence for early single-celled life and represents basins that record the assembly and breakup of an early supercontinent between 729 and 1,255 million years ago. The Layered Paleozoic Rocks encode stories, layer by layer, of dramatic geologic changes and the evolution of animal life during the Paleozoic Era (period of ancient life) between 270 and 530 million years ago. In addition to characterizing the ages and geology of the three sets of rocks, we provide numeric ages for all the groups and formations within each set. Nine tables list the best ages along with information on each unit’s tectonic or depositional environment, and specific information explaining why revisions were made to previously published numeric ages. Photographs, line drawings, and diagrams of the different rock formations are included, as well as an extensive glossary of geologic terms to help define important scientific concepts. The three sets of rocks are separated by rock contacts called unconformities formed during long periods of erosion. This report unravels the Great Unconformity, named by John Wesley Powell 150 years ago, and shows that it is made up of several distinct erosion surfaces. The Great Nonconformity is between the Vishnu Basement Rocks and the Grand Canyon Supergroup. The Great Angular Unconformity is between the Grand Canyon Supergroup and the Layered Paleozoic Rocks. Powell’s term, the Great Unconformity, is used for contacts where the Vishnu Basement Rocks are directly overlain by the Layered Paleozoic Rocks. The time missing at these and other unconformities within the sets is also summarized in this paper—a topic that can be as interesting as the time recorded. Our goal is to provide a single up-to-date reference that summarizes the main facets of when the rocks exposed in the canyon’s walls were formed and their geologic history.
