“In fact, the ongoing and deepening contrast between the Jesus of the Gospels and popular cultural misconfigurations is the principal reason I have written this book. Jesus is far more beautiful than many have imagined. It all has to do with love, but not just any kind of love, but with holy love.â€� Jesus the Stranger: The Man from Galilee and the Light of the World, p. xviii.”
Kenneth J. Collins, Jesus the Stranger: The Man from Galilee and the Light of the World

“For Wesley, then, obedience to God through the moral law is required in the practical Christian life, not of course as the condition of acceptance, but in order to continue in the rich grace of God.55 And that Wesley did indeed develop a formal prescriptive use of the moral lawâ€� the tertius usus—is evident in his observation: "Each is continually sending me to the other—the law to Christ, and Christ to the law."56 Simply put, obedience to God through the moral law does not establish the Christian life, but it is a necessary fruit of that faith that both justifies and regenerates.”
Kenneth J. Collins, The Theology of John Wesley: Holy Love and the Shape of Grace

“Wesley developed a theological style that not only was sophisticated in its attempt to hold a diversity of truths in tension, but also has on occasion puzzled his interpreters, both past and present, precisely because of that diversity.”
Kenneth J. Collins, The Theology of John Wesley: Holy Love and the Shape of Grace
