Lecture two of a series on the 'Doctrine of Atonement', delivered by Dr. Mildred Bangs Wynkoop during the fall of 1979 at Nazarene Theological Seminary. Dr. Wynkoop was a remarkable voice in the Church of the Nazarene—a writer, pastor, missionary, and theologian whose influence still resonates today. Her most celebrated works are Foundations of Wesleyan-Arminian Theology and A Theology of Love: The Dynamic of Wesleyanism, both of which continue to shape contemporary Wesleyan thought. Her ministry journey spanned the globe and the academy. She pastored churches in California and Oregon, taught at George Fox Evangelical Seminary, and served as the founding president of Japan Nazarene Theological Seminary. She also taught in Taiwan before returning to the United States to serve as Professor of Theology at Trevecca Nazarene College (1966–1976) and later at Nazarene Theological Seminary (1976–1979). Throughout her century-long life and ministry, Dr. Wynkoop met Phineas Bresee, studied under H. Orton Wiley and Olive Winchester, and left a profound impact on generations of students and colleagues across four Nazarene institutions—having studied at Point Loma Nazarene University and Northwest Nazarene University, and having taught at Trevecca Nazarene University and Nazarene Theological Seminary. *These recordings, captured initially in 1979, have been substantially restored. While Dr. Wynkoop's voice has been clarified, student questions during Q&A segments may be difficult to discern. Her responses, however, remain clear and impactful.* Lifelong Learning Code: 80890 Click here to learn about Lifelong Learning

If you've ever been in a small group or a Bible study, election has undoubtedly come up. How can God elect some for salvation and still be just? How can he find fault with us? These are precisely the questions Paul takes up in Romans 9. In this difficult text, Cole and Terry talk about how to read this passage, Calvinism, Wesleyanism, and God's mercy in election.
Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvellous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him…Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it…let them sing before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equity (Psalm 98:1, 7, 9). Momentous events need to be celebrated. In our personal lives, birthdays and anniversaries are marked with celebrations. We throw a party for graduations and other major accomplishments. In our communal lives we do the same. We mark the anniversaries of our churches with special gatherings worship services. I've been part of a few of these. We celebrate the birth of our country with red and white celebrations each July. Some can remember the celebrations which marked the end of WW2. Great art and great music also mark turning points in human life. Who can miss the grandeur and pathos of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture? But how many of us know that it was composed to commemorate Napoleon's defeat at the gates of Moscow? Or who can remain seated as Handel's Messiah crescendos in the "Hallelujah Chorus"? (Except yours truly at the age of four, who slept through it – my dad used to love to tell the story). The cultural revolutions of the 60s coincided with the birth of rock 'n roll. Church history also shows us that every great revival has produced new songs. Suddenly an awakened people break traditional forms, giving voice to their praise. This was true in the Reformation, in Wesleyanism, Pentecostalism, and the Jesus movement. They all brought new worship music into the life of the church. In Psalm 98, God's marvellous works prompt the call for a new song. Israel has experienced "marvellous things." God has acted and gained the victory (1). Israel has experienced salvation because God has remembered His covenant (2-3). The earth is called to join in the singing with instruments and joyful shouts (4-6). Finally, all of creation must add its praise because God is coming to judge the earth and bring in His final resolution (7-9). Nothing is to be spared in praise of God; every voice and every known instrument are to raise a shout of praise. The celebration is to be as over the top as possible. Nothing is too big to express the praise of the one who made us and saves us. But this calls forth a question: do we dance and sing when we think of "judgment day"? Do we trust God to judge with equity all the peoples of the earth? Can we really join in the celebration in loud voices? The celebration here is not trite. We are called to celebrate God's judgment on us and on the world. What is this judgement? Pastor Anthony spoke about it yesterday, but I think its worth a few more words. Israel's expectation that God would come ‘to judge the world in righteousness' was her faith that one day ‘God's will would be done one earth as in heaven.' As Jesus would later explain, his reign begins with the deep foundation of God's rule in the human heart, yours and mine. God's shalom will govern the earth. As Ezekiel foresaw, our hearts of stone would be broken and replaced with hearts tuned in to God's Spirit. This judgement will remove our conflicted loyalties so that we worship God alone. To sing such Psalms is too long for God's salvation, not just for the world, but for ourselves as well. They awaken in us a renewed dedication to our Redeemer, inspiring in us a desire to flee from all evil and to embrace all that is good and righteous. These are good songs. Are you singing them?
In this episode, we take on one of the biggies: predestination (or, "individual double predestination"). What do Wesleyans believe about it? Why do we believe it? Where do we differ from Calvinists on this doctrine? We also talk briefly about Squid Game and Babette's Feast.

In this episode, I respond to some Wesleyan individuals who have, in my opinion, naively claimed that apologetics has no place in Wesleyanism. I have a baker's dozen questions to ask individuals who hold this position. In the meantime, I show how, if you take John Wesley as your example or believe the Wesleyan quadrilateral, you should believe that apologetics is Wesleyan.

We begin to examine the Via Salutis - the Way of Salvation - in Wesleyanism and see immediately how John Wesley described this as "The Scripture Way of Salvation." Throughout his nuanced and highly developed understanding of salvation, grace is the thread that weaves the entire tapestry together. Wesley saw grace as both the unmerited love of God and as the power of the Holy Spirit that enables one to walk in the ways of God, thus holding together conjunctively both the so-called "Protestant" emphasis and the "Catholic" emphasis. To Wesley, salvation was a matter of grace as logically prior to all else.
