Christian Theology by H. Orton Wiley
Though I am not Wesleyan, I appreciate reading other view points within the spectrum of orthodox Christian theology. One of those view points is the Arminian tradition and its relative, the Holiness Movement. One of the greatest systematizations of the Wesleyan tradition is H. Orton Wiley’s Christian Theology, a three-volume systematic text. Henry Orton Wiley was born in 1877 and had an active ministry in the Nazarene Church throughout the 20th century. While doing some on-line searching this morning I ran across an online edition of his Christian Theology at Northwest Nazarene University where Wiley was once president. If you’re a theological student, his works are worth examining for your systematic theology and historical theology papers.

Wiley is good. I chanced on a set of Christian Theology in a used bookstore and snatched it up. Wiley’s work was actually commissioned by the Church of the Nazarene, and he remains one of the few Nazarene theologians who has made any attempt at a systemic theology.
