This unit considers the life and written work of John Wesley. In a blur of motion, he moved from pen to pavement; from parchment to people. He was a prolific writer and a passionate visitor of people. The unit examines the reasons why John Wesley and his early Methodists proved so effective in evangelism and discipleship such that new disciples made new disciples.
Such an exploration will enable participants to develop the necessary frameworks for better understanding evangelism and discipleship; then and now. The unit will also help students to consider their own approaches to evangelism and discipleship in their ministry context in Australia.
