It’s Elementary – Episode 11 – “What is Wesleyan Theology” with Dr. Ken Collins.

In this theologically rich episode of It’s Elementary, Dr. David Watson and Dr. Ken Collins, Professor of Historical Theology and Wesley Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary, explore themes from Dr. Collins’ new book, Generous Divine Love: The Grace and Power of Methodist Theology. Dr. Collins shares his faith journey from upbringing to discovering Wesleyan theology through a retired Free Methodist minister, a turning point shaped by reading John Wesley’s 52 Standard Sermons.
Together they discuss the heart of Wesleyan theology: God’s generous and transformative love, the optimism of grace, the relational nature of the Triune God, and the breadth and sufficiency of grace for every human need.
