{"product_id":"wesleys-metaphysics-wilson-pruitt-9798188218102","title":"Wesley's Metaphysics: A Summa for Subscribers","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Wesley never wrote a system of divinity, and said he never would. Yet across half a century of occasional sermons a single, consistent metaphysic runs from end to end. This book argues that what looks like the absence of system in Wesley's thought is the presence of a \u003ci\u003egenre\u003c\/i\u003e - the serial discourse written for a lay reading public, not the architectonic treatise - and reconstructs the whole generative structure that genre concealed: a single doctrine of God unfolding, chapter by chapter, into creation, providence, the invisible world, the human creature, and the last things.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWesley did the work of a systematic theologian in the tools of a magazine editor. He furnished a whole cosmos - the vehicle of the soul, the empiricism of the invisible, the conscious intermediate state, a providence that reaches to the particular - and never once collected it. This is the gathering: not a new way to read Wesley, but the plan of the system he had all along, laid out at last under its classical heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet beside the companion critical edition, \u003ci\u003eWesley's Metaphysical Sermons\u003c\/i\u003e, which gathers the thirty-eight sermons themselves under the same six \u003ci\u003eloci\u003c\/i\u003e.
