A New Volume on the Thought of William J. Abraham

I’ve often discussed Billy Abraham’s impact on my life. His teaching, writing, and friendship had a profound effect on the ways in which I think about Christian faith and practice. Recently I had the opportunity to contribute to a volume in his honor. My chapter was on his understanding of the Bible and divine revelation. I anticipate the book will come out sometime in the fall.

If you’re interested in engaging Abraham’s ideas, I’d encourage you to pick up a copy of this text.

“William J. Abraham made important contributions across an impressive range  

of fields: philosophy of religion, evangelism, Wesley studies, systematic and  

analytic theology, among others. ‘Billy’ was brilliant, forceful, charming, fiery,  

charitable, irascible, loyal, faithful, and so much more. He was unquestionably  

one of the most important theologians of the last several decades--not only  

within Methodism and Wesleyanism but across systematic and analytic theology  

more broadly. This collection of essays both honors his contributions and  

advances his causes, and--like Billy himself--will be of help both to those who  

agree with those who disagree.”
