Overall a good introduction to what makes Wesleyan theology unique. In places it was a little too evident that the author was trying very hard for tweetable “quip” phrasings that detracted in my view from the overall message.

All in all, however, it seems to align virtually identical with a practicing Catholic’s understand of Catholicism, despite referring to it as the “questionable ‘Church of Rome’”. The Wesleyan approach does seem to take important questions for granted to isolate attention so fervently on action, and no doubt appeals for that reason to believers who are bored with questions of why believe one way or another and wants to get out there and do good.

Labor to get through. They virtually refuse ever to make their point. 80% of the book is approaching something like a point then saying “but that’s beyond the scope of this essay.”

No thoughts of interest are presented here. If you want to know what Dewey, James, and Pearce thought, read either the writers themselves or some other book. This book was SUCH a waste of time.

Dworkin was a very clear writer. Loved the style. The substance is fascinating. Makes me wish all philosophers wrote in this tone.

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Really rather tortured.
