About the Book

Following the theology of mission developed by John Wesley, thousands of men and women have engaged in domestic and international missions. But why did they go? Why do they continue to go today? In The Use of the Old Testament in a Wesleyan Theology of Mission, Gordon Snider examines the Wesleyan understanding of mission in the light of the Old Testament. What theology from God's Old Covenant gave Wesleyans their drive to impact nations, and how did it shape their missionary strategies? Drawing upon a range of primary sources, he examines how a number of influential speakers in the Wesleyan tradition, particularly the founders and spokespeople of the nineteenth and the early twentieth century, have used the Old Testament to inform their theology of mission. Snider provides an insight into the works of the important theologians Thomas Coke, Jabez Bunting, Adam Clarke, Richard Watson, Daniel Whedon and Edmund Cook. Focusing on the movement of Wesleyan Theology from Great Britain to North America, Snider analyses how this affected Wesleyan ideas of holiness, eschatology and divine healing. Readers of this volume will discover why Wesleyan Christians go into the world and gain a deeper understanding of missions.

Review :
"This book effectively demonstrates that the Old Testament was widely used by key writers in the Wesleyan tradition in shaping their theologies of mission and promotion of overseas missionary activity." - Geordan Hammond, Senior Research Fellow in Church History and Wesley Studies, Nazarene Theological College, Manchester "This is a ground-breaking study. The subject of how Wesleyans used the Old Testament to construct theologies of mission has never been examined in detail before. Gordon Snider has undertaken this task in a thorough and convincing way. His work sheds fresh and important light on the history of world mission." - Ian Randall, Research Associate, Cambridge Centre for Christianity Worldwide "Snider's analysis of Wesleyans' quest for an Old Testament Great Commission mandate is highly commendable... The book [is] a profound analysis of Wesleyans' use of Old Testament texts towards successful world mission." - George Walters-Sleyon, The Expository Times, Volume 129, Number 1, October 2017 'In this interesting study, Gordon Snider; a professor at Kansas Christian College, sets out to examine if and how representative Wesleyan theologians and missionary leaders used the Old Testament to shape a theology of mission, and how far the outcomes corresponded with distinctive Wesleyan emphases.' - Martin Wellings, Editor for Wesley and Methodist Studies, Book Reviews, Vol 10, No. 2, 2018
