John Wesley's conversion theology motifs -- John Wesley's conversion theology attendant themes -- George Whitefield's conversion theology motifs -- George Whitefield's conversion theology attendant themes -- John Wesley and George Whitefield's theologies of conversion compared -- Conversion as inaugurated teleology for Wesley and Whitefield.
Summary: The gospel message is simple but not simplistic. Learning the gospel and its implications is a lifelong process, but modern evangelicals are often too focused on the moment of conversion while ignoring the ongoing work of sanctification. For John Wesley and George Whitefield, justification and sanctification were inseparable. In Born Again, Sean McGever maps Wesley's and Whitefield's theologies of conversion, reclaiming the connection between justification and sanctification. This study helps evangelicals reassess their thin understanding of conversion, leading to a rich and full picture of the ongoing work new Christians face. -- Publisher, page four of cover.
