Doctrine in Experience (Paperback or Softback)

A fresh way to look at the ministry of The United Methodist Church.United Methodism is often accused of having an incoherent theological center. By examining the history and salient features of the church, this book says that United Methodist theology is actually appropriated from its experience as a missional corporate body. This allows United Methodist to do theology in new ways and to better adapt to its multivalent contexts.
